DIDN'T WANT THE CURRENCY
Holders Of OIL company's Checks Sat
isfied They Were az Good az
Uncle Sans Money.

Speaking of boarding gold" re-
marked the head of a large oil com.
pany, according to the Wall Street
Journal, there is a list that will per
haps interest you. There IT several
thousand checks still outstanding
against my company which have been
issued at various dates since 1891 in
payment for oil we have bought from
little oil producers. These checks have
not been cashed, and apparently the
holders are in no hurry to cash them
Once we tried to get In touch with
some Of these old fellows SO that we
could clean up the very ancient checks,
the object being. of course, to reduce
the amount of bookkeeping necessary
to keep our balance straight We had
got tired of holding that cash against
these checks. Do you think the old
fellows would give up? Not much,
They said that they had been selling
oil to us for many, many years and
would as soon have our checks as
Uncle Sans money; that they did moi
need the cash. and that they guessed
we would be good for it when they did
So they are still holding them. OF
course, every corporation has its trou
BILE in these lines, but we believe We
hold the record"
