I Just for Convenience, Entirely apart from the many' other advantages of a Personal Checking Account at the Bank, the convenience of it is no small consideration. The ability to make purchases and nav Killc affpr hanWincr hours i o I without the necessity of always having a pocketful of money is worth a great deal. With a Cheek Book in your i pocket, you are taking no risks of losing money and yet you i at a ays have all of your money; on hand and ready for use. One is as liable to need money before nine in the morning or i after three as between those hours. The Personal Check: Book settles the matter. BANK OF WILLIAMSBURG KINSSTREE. S. C. C W Stoll, Pres.
