Pay BY Check.
Progressive Farmer.

A business farmer should pay
for everything by check as all 9th
er business men do. Many farm
er carries more money i'll his pock-
cts than city business man who
has a hundred thousand dollars.
Here are three reasons why farm
business men, as well as town busl-
hess men should deal with banks
and pay everything by check:
l. Carrying money Oh your per-
son is unsafe. Your money and
possibly your life is endangered by
this willfull invitation to robbery
and theft.
2. When you pay by check you
get the cancelled check back as a
receipt for every single item you
have paid, and there is no. chance
oil having to pay an account Twice,
your cneck the proof and the re-
ceipt.
3. When you deposit in the
bank every cent you receive from
the safe OF your produce, and then
draw it out by check, you are
establishing a credit with the bank.
The man VINO has balance with
the bank on his choosing ACCOUNT
most of the year, will have no trou-
bic i'll borrowing couple of hun
dred dollars to carry him over a
tight place.
