BANK MONEY ORDERS
MAKE REMITTANCES WITH BANK MONEY ORDERS
E NOTICE that the people of this vicinity are getting
the good habit of coming here for a Money Order when
they want to send money away. They used to go to
the Poetoffice or an Express Office, but now they know that
the Bank Money order is the best. It costs less. It is
absolutely safe and payable anywhere. You don’t have
the bother of writing out an application. You get an
immediate receipt for the amount of the order you buy.
If the order ia lost, there is no tangle of red tape about
recovering your money.
Always cheaper than either
Postoffice or Express Money Orders.
