The Convenience of Checks

OF the billions of dollars changing hands daily in
business transactions, less than FIVE per cent is actual
money. Checks,-or written orders representing the
actual money! are more convenient in business
than cash.
On receipt of your first deposit with this bank, we
give you your bank book and blank checks. Instead
of carrying your money about, you carry your checks
and write them for the amount of purchases or OBJ
legations. The checks that others give you in pay
ment are brought to US for deposit to your credit
and in turn the amount may be checked upon by
you. If a check is lost the bank is notified and pay
ment is stopped.
Checks are desirable because all chance of loss, error
and theft are avoided. When paid and returned by
the bank, they are an indisputable receipt. Such
protection is valuable to your business, yet a check
account with this bank costs you nothing whatever.

TARIFF TINKERING
AS to Window Glass and
Shows How 1t Will Ruin
Glass Industry.

Joseph NJ. Neenan, of clevelan 1,
president OF the National Window
fGlass Workers. who addressed a
large mass meeting here Sunday af-
terloon ON the tariff question as it
relates to the glass trade and gem
eral business, went from the city
Tuesday morning to Point Marion,
Pa, ON similar mission, and from
that point he viii return to his head.
quarters in Cleveland
IN speaking of the situation Inn
pending as result Of the tarif tink-
ering now being engaged in by tue
Democratic Congress, Mr.. Neeaan
stated that the proposed tariff reduc-
ton on window glass averages 49,
per cent. The reduction on sizes up
to 16 by "a, he said, would make it
impossible to compete with foreign
manufacturers. 1t seems to Mr..
Neenan that the ways and means
committee OF the House has not
given due consideration to the
difference of the cost of labor here
and in Belgium. The Belgium work
ers are Americans greatest COM
petitors. In that country the glass
workers work continuously or seven
days week all the year. They have,
fewer shifts and losger hours. I'm
skilled labor there receives only
sixty cents day and women do
work in the factories there. They
are paid low wages for class of
work that costs here at the rate of
$1.75 to $3.50 a day.
Sixty per cent OF the product Of
the United States in size ranges up
TO 16 by "a. The ways and means
committee in purposiag to reduce
the tariff on those grades of glass
intends to do something that greatly
affects the working interests Of this
country.
The mass meeting here Sunday
represented 1900 window glass
workers and the manufacturers de-
clare that they will not be able to
operate their factories under the
proposed lower tariff.
Mr.. Neenan stated that his organ
ization had Informed the ways and
means committee that the reduction
on grades larger than 16 by ga
would not materilly affect wages.
Figures were given by Mr.. Neenan
on a fifty foot box of glass showing
the actual cost here to be $f.4S, or
which the freight to New York Is
eight coats. making the cost there
.$1,54 to the manufacturer, while the
same sized box landed IN New York
from Belgium stood the manufacture
er at only S147.1
