Tjieirbank m ^ deposit book affords them a complete record of their cash W ^ receipts, while the stubs of the check book are a perfect ? m record of expenses and payments. Paying a laborer, a M store account, or any other bill with a bank check is much f safer than with money ; because the person receiving the ^ i check must endorse it, and the check being returned to the ^ (line wF niap \ maker by the bank, can be preserved as a receipt. Money m 9 deposited in a bank is not so easily and so often "fooled 9 )un- w 9 ,re- m away" as when carried around in one's pocket. Farmers: ? 9 Try the experience for one year of keeping a bank account 9 ? and see if it does not pay you. A large number of the ^ best farmers have accounts with us.
