This is the! first bank in the county to install this very new and modern service. H ^ Tliis new machine method of receipting aeconnt deposits will not make it necessary for the depositor!.to change the preparation of deposit slips, but instead of the deposit being receipted by pen and ink in a pass book, the teller will receipt for it by machine, validating the bank's record and issuing a machine printed receipt in one fast operation. The new plan lists many advantages. Instead of a passbook, the depositor will get a confidential machine.-printed registered receipt. Since the machine prints duplicate receipts, it will no longer be necessary for customers to prenare this extra deposit slip. The tellers' machines are very new, having come into existence just before the war.
