or storckeeper informing her Of any new
items that have been received.
The keenly alive merchant knows
whether the family of his customer Is
fond Of grapefruit or bananas. and
when he receives fresh supply. may
suggest them to the lady. This saves
her time and considerably reduces
anxiety as to what she shall prepare
for breakfast or dinner
One dealer says that 80 per cent OF
his patrons order by telephone. There
are many. however. who do not choose
to use this method preferring to shop
around and buying where prices are
lowest. This practice frequently saves
money for the purchaser and at the
same time helps the dealers.
1t Is surprising how prices vary. Per-
haps there may be difference OF only
a few cents either way. but In the ag-
gregate one may save considerable or
spend uselessly. For example. one store
will sell oranges for so cents a dozen,
while they may be obtained at another
shop for perhaps IS cents dozen.
Sometimes a dealer may offer a bar
gam for the purpose o. inviting trade
and in that case the purchaser is the
gamer. In quoting prices. therefore. IL
should be remembered that they are
subject to fluctuation and represent
usually the top. rather than the medium
price.
During the past week there has been
no notable change in the market and
practically no new produce received

What Happens to Your Checks.

Have you ever examined the reverse
side OF your checks when they have
been returned 10 you with your monthly
statement? Often they tell interesting
tales II one has learned to interpret
the marks.
OF course We all know that eventually
checks are presented to our own banks
for collection. and that the amount
OF the check Is deducted from the
amount which We have on deposit. How
many know, however. that Our own
checks may not actually be sent TO our
bank at once for collection?
In all cities is a clearing house for
checks. Each bank is either a men,
Der or clears through" a member. At
the beginning Of each day. certain
amount is due for collection at each
bank. Since all banks collect from one
another they keep balance at the
clearing house.
Now let's say you bank at the First
National Your check. let's assume. is
cashed at the Second National. Al the
clearing house there are several such
checks Well. II the amount TO be COL
iected by the First National against the
Second Is larger than that 10 be COL
iected by the latter against the former.
then q check TO cover the difference is
made out by the latter
Then the checks are returned to their
respective banks. and Withdrawals
made from individual accounts OF
course. If some one took your check To
your bank TO be cashed 1t would not
be cleared at all
Banks in towns that have no clearing
houses usually clear In a nearby town
through corresponding bank. II a
check on an out OF town bank is dashed
II is cleared by mail usually through
