CHECKING ACCOUNTS
For Busy Women
One outstanding advantage of a checking account
is the time it saves in paying bills. Without leaving
your home you can settle your accounts with the
butcher, the baker, and everyone else. What is more,
you will have an accurate record on your check
stubs, as well as the legal proof of payment provided
by your cancelled cheeks.
The convenience of a checking account is indis-
pensable to the modern woman. We invite you to
open your account at this bank today.
