Traveling Checks
O you habitually take
a 25 or 30 per cent discount on
the personal checks you write?
| Many people do... without re
alizing it. It’s the hidden penalty
they pay for the privilege of tak
ing their trade to some other city
or town.
| l ake a moment to consider the
facts: Only about 70 cents of
each dollar we spend goes to pay
for the actual goods or service
that we get. About 30 cents of
that dollar has to cover the ex
penses of the community where
the sale is made ... to pay the
people who work there ... to re
turn something on the capital in
vested ... to help support the
civic facilities such as churches,
schools, fire and police protec
tion, road and street mainten
ance, etc.
| Of course, when we spend our
money away from home we get
no personal benefit whatever
from the 30 per cent of it which
goes for community business and
social improvement.
| Doesn’t it follow, then, that
when we give checks or money
for out-of-town purchases, near
ly one-third of the amount goes
for something we don’t get? Isn’t
that very much the same as dis
counting our checks or money?
