The Bank Check and How Il
Performs Many Different
Services for Business.

Americans are the greatest
users Of bank checks in the
world. Less than eight per cent OF
all business transactions in the
United States is conducted with
money. or. to put it another way,
more than nine out OF ten trans.
actions are conducted with com.
mercial instruments. OF which one
u the most important is the check.
The use Of the check has become
universal in America because 1t is
DE OF the simplest yet mos: effi.

ed The bank transactions OF Mr..
Smith, the storekeeper. illustrate
In a general way those of all other
business people. .Storekeeper
Smiths customers pay him for the
goods he sells to them both with
cash and checks. At the end of
the day he counts up the proceeds
OF the days business and finds his
sales have amounted to. say. $500.
w
He owes a large part OF 1t to tho
other business concerns fro m
which he purchased at Wholesale
the goods he ia selling. Some Of
these companies are in Mr.. Smith
town. and others are located at
some distance from 1t. Even small
business would be . clumsy, com.
plieated and time.wastlns affair
unless Il were for the facility Of
the bank check.
When . Check 10 Useful
Mr.. Smith could pay his bills by
sending cash by mail, but this
method Of payment would be un.
wise. because Of tho danger Of the
money being lost In transit. Again,
he might 60 out and buy express
or postal money orders for the
amounts due, but to do this regu.
larly would require 4 great deal of
his time, and would involve need.
less expense. Besides, a money or.

check does. Although it Is in real.
