If so, leave every dollar you receive f&r cotton with

+ on deposit and check same out as needed. Every time '1
^ you demand currency "instead of a deposit ticket you "
take that much money out of circulation temporarily. *
5 Now when cotton is so high if every farmer would take *
the actual currency for even one bale home wilh him, it
would create such a shortage of money in the South
+ that interest rates would advance, the banks would have ?
to borrow enormous sums, loans would be demanded, ?
cotton forced on the market and the bottom drop out of *
** the price. A check on the First National with your ?>
name neatly printed on it, which we furnish without
cost, is just as good as money at any time and any place.
+ Nohody ever thinks to ask if it is good, because every- %
^ body knows that if you deal at The First National and r
~ they think enough of you to print you name on each of
your checks that you must be all right. The adv? rtis- 7
