HE MULTIPLE CHECK

s too bad did not invent the multiple check It would have been such satisfaction in years to come when up their noses and ask Well when have women invented anything, in household matters which would simplify their own work?" to be able to point proudly to the multiple check system then extend ed business bills as well as household bills as the product of womans mind.
 It may be that a is back of the project. Prat W often these inventions to which men point with prd had their origin in the head Of woman who kney what she wanted and how she wanted it done but who lacking the mechanical training necessary to work it out had to call in male person to materiaze her idea
 At present however the credit for the new system goes to the business of Highland Park III. Mor than 15O uadesmen in Highland Park and Deerfield says the Chicago Tribune, have joined the Multiple Check association, which was put operation abou week ago
 What is the Multiple Check system?, It's one of those obvious things like that standup of ColumBus's famou. egg, which is simple protected once one has beer told about it, that it's deep mystery why 1t wasn't dis covered years and years ago. Or perhaps the expla nation of its delay that only the past years have women paid their house bills with their own check over their own signatures and consequently have onh now begun to demand that paying the house bills bc simplifed Oes, the chances are there must be a we man back of it somewhere)
 The Multiple Check? It's simply one check instead Of many. The way it works is this:
 When the first of the month or week comes round you take all your house bills gas laundry grocery mea rent drygoods doctor and ali the rest and add them UT You make check for the total amount payable l., your bank You mail this one check and forget you troubles till next time. The bank apportions the mone and there you This you the trouble of mab ing out many little bills and filing many little receipts The method also the tradesman trouble He get his big check from the bank covering the accounts O his many customers, either all at once Or in week. installments, he prefers Difficulty with collections slow pays careless extrayagant customers is passe, on to the bank The bank charge something for th service, naturally but it will be less than the waste unoss of the old way either radesman or customer
 Also, in the matter of bad bills, the bank which co. lects the whole amount from each customer will hay great advantage the single tradesman who fear to anger large buyer by pressing for payment of whic he may be in need Besides unless he takes tn time and trouble deliberate inquiries among oh tradesmen he cannot prove that the customer is no financially sound and merely careless. Too many NC men just careless lacking in imagination as to th need of their druggists and milners for ready cas- with which to maintain business. And few small house holders are listed in the big credit agencies.
 By having the whole collection made by the one bsnl no woman can keep Peter waiting the month she pay Paul The bank will be "onto her curves" in short orde As far as one judge plan by sheer logic witl out the unknown factors which may enter in the cours of experience it would apear only be an effcenc scheme, that s method of saving time and energ by cenraizng, but also a fine means of lacking up tn towns credit thrift and sefrespect.
 The centralizing feature of the multiple check is or Iof its most important pheses. It marks the tendenc of the time to that waste at the bung" which
