Your Check Protects j
We want you to know how one farmer’s J
bank account was recently the means of saving j
him a lawsuit and probably a hundred dollars. <
This is the way he told us of the incident: <
<
• (
(
“There is a story connected with that check of mine
which I told you not to cash last week. I bought a
horse of a man up north of here with the under*
standing that the animal was sound. When he deliv* ,
ered the horse I gave him my check. It happened
to be toward evening and he went back home instead (
of driving in to get the cash on it, I didn’t think f
much about the horse till the following morning while \
plowing. I soon discovered he was off in the wind <
and it made me hot under the collar I *went right (
to the house and telephoned you not to honor the i
check if presented. Then I called up the man that <
tried to do me and told him he could have the horse *
back. He kicked at first but when I told him pay- ^
ment was stopped on the check he shut up. He took ^
the horse back that night. Had I paid him the cash - ^
it would have probably cost me a law suit.” <
Why not pay your bills by check and be safe? j
