Bond Firm Gees Bankrupt
Morris Bros, bond house of Portland
closed its doors on Monday and later
its branch houses in Seattle, Spokane
and San Francisco were also closed.
’J’he immediate cause was the issuing
of interim certificates to purchasers
of Canadian bonds pending their de
livery to the bankrupt firm and the
diversion of the funds so raised for
other purposes than that intended by
the investing public. The certificates
issued by the .bond house are exactly
the same as notes, with a proviao for
definite thing to be performed by
the bond house and which is expressly
waived in the Tertiflcate. A ll invest
ors who loose their money are also
entitled to censure they were con
tributing to the present stringency by
assisting in depleting the money re
serves of this particular section of
our country by sending more than two
million dollars out of the business
life of Oregon. Another thing that
helped the bond house to sell these
certificates was that the holders of
them could not be held for income
tax payments as the returns are easily
concealed.

One Hundred Yean Ago
The system of paying bills by check
was introduced, and was quickly ap
preciated by discerning people.
It reduces the personal danger of
carrying funds; makes for conveni
ence in disbursing large or small
amounts; provides for a reliable,
workable record of money deposited
and money spent, and lends s certain
dignity to the transference of funds.
You should enjoy these advantages.
