TALKS ON BANKING
Savings Bank Centennial Series.

not delay reconciling the balance 1t
is easily to be seen that the banks
balance will not agree with your check
book, by reason of the fact that you
have issued checks which may not have
been presented for payment. 1t is
good plan to consider every check is
sued as Immediately paid, and deduct
ed from your bank balance, If you do
this, you will never be deceived as to
the condition of your account.
Number all checks consecutively and
when returned from the bank arrange
them numerically. and check them as 10
amount with the check book stubs
After you have ascertained what
checks you have issued that have not
been paid, subtract the amount from
the balance shown by the bans, which
should agree with your own balance
If any difference occurs, after assur-
ing yourself that you are right, re-
port the matter at once to the bank
1t is we'll to examine the checks re-
turned to see that they are all signed
by you, and that the amounts have not
been raised, the latter being proven
from the checking process above noted
If you will follow these simple direc-
tons and see that your account is re-
conciled at least every 60 days, 1t will
help both you and the bank officials,
for they desire frequent rcconcilements
and do not care to have vouchers aC-
cumulate for a long period.

ReeonoiIins Your Bank Account.


If you keep a checking account with
a bank it is important both to you and
to the bank to know that your &C
counts agree. Errors are liable to be
made on both sides. A deposit that
should have gone to your account may
have been credited to one with SINH
lar name, and likewise a check may
have been wrongly charged against
your account Forgeries may have
been committed through your checks,
and errors incidental to keeping
large number of accounts are always
possible. 1t becomes important, there
fore, to frequently adjust your balance
with that of the bank both for the
sake of protection and for the sake of
accuracy.
A great many banks balance the
pass book when left for this purpose.
by listing on the adding machine the
paid checks, deducting the amount
from the total of the deposits, the diff
ference representing the amount on
deposit. Other banks now issue a
monthly statement in the form of.
typed sheet, containing all deposits
made and checks paid, with the balance
struck. This obviates the necessity of
balancing the pass book. which be-
comes merely a memorandum of de-
posits made.
Whatever the method. you should
