To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: For many years We have received country
checks in payment OF bills for goods sold in all
sections Of country. our bank has received

us would not be desirable or profitable. We are
satisfied however that II has cost our bank some
money 20 extend 10 us the facilities it has granted
