The fact that nearly all paper money
In circulation now is badly worn and
soiled has been one of the reasons why
bank deposits have increased, says an

People like to handle clean, crisp
bills" he said, 'but are afraid of the
torn, soiled ones. There is always the
chance of getting some disease. Small
checking accounts have increased a
good deal lately, and this is undoubt-
eddy one of the reasons for it. When
new bills come in again the accounts
may become fewer. But once people
get the habit of using checks they gen.
