A great many men have cranky
ideas about preparing their bills for
ready handling. One plan is to fold
each bill separately, keeping the de-
nominations apart IA the various divi-
sions OF their pocketbooks This
method facilitates the search for the
desired sum when making a purchase.
This is almost a sure guard against

IS kept In an inside poclset. Now and

bills in every pocket He goes on the
theory that II he Is robbed of one lot.
