Your bills come due on the first of esch month, and you have your choice
of two ways of paying them. You can trudge around from store to store
and from dealer to dealer, with a pocket full of small change and consume
a lot of valuable time, or you can sit quietly in your office or home and in
a few minutes write out a check covering the exact amount of each hill,
which two cents will carry to the merchant. By the latter method you
avoid all risks of losing your money or having it stolen and the canceled
check which we return to you, after paying it, is a perfect receipt for pay
ment. Make a deposit with this bank and use the checking account for
one month. You will never go back to the old way again.

A Hair
Dressing
Nearly every one likes a fine
hair dressing. Something to
make the hair more manage
able; to keep it from being
too rough, or from splitting
i t the ends. Something, too,
that will feed the hair at the
same time, a regular hair-food.
Well-fed hair will be strong,and
will remain where it belongs—
on the head, not on the comb!
