book in Banks, Offices, Counting Houses
and Stores, is issued on the 1st and 10th of
each month, and has become a necessity TO
all business men Besides distinctive arti-
cles upon forged Treasury Notes and imita-

now is the time to have one ready for refer
ence. The facilities for countcretlng have
largely increased since the adoption of the
National Banking system, under which all
the Banks use uniform plate for each de-
nomination, with only "a difference of locality.
This fact warrants Il liberal expenditure on
the part of the counterieiters in getting up Il
fac si0flG on any one Of the National Banks,
f. which, when detected on that particular
Bank, is Immediately adaptodto some Other
+ bank by simply changing the locality, and
so on through the whole two thousand Ma.
, iOnal Banks; whereas, formerly, counter
, felt on any State Bank, when detected, at
once became worthless. For these reasons
the Delector daily grows of more importance
. To the public than ever. Terms OF subscrip
