A man whoojays his bills by check gives the appearance of having nvor^y, -and it co&s him nothing. Until proven false, appearances are usually taken at their face value. Whenever you write a check you pre­ sent the appearance of having money\iu the bank, and your credit is strengthened because of it- Let us help you to make appearances count. Open. a-checking account with us, although it nmy be small in the beginning.
