And remember you can afford this kind of stationery on Construction Bond, with envelopes to match, too.

This saving in expense goes into your pocket when you demand and secure Construction Bond for your business stationery.
This is the watermark that identifies the Standard of Value in business correspondence papers —

Departure from Usual Custom Causes Comment
The two banks of Crawfordsville, Ga., are receiving their items from the Atlanta clearing house through the Southern Express Company. This is quite a departure from the usual custom of receiving items by the local bank, and is causing some comment among those interested. John F. Holton, president of the two banks here, said: “It is an effort on the part of the Atlanta clearing house to force the country banks to accept their rate of exchange.” The merchants here, most of whom are stockholders in the banks, are having placed on their checks: “This check is payable in New York exchange at the current rate.”

Bank Depositors Get a Warrant
Philadelphia, September 2.—Determined to make some one pay for their alleged losses at the hands of Charles W. Rainke, the Polish banker, of 3142 Richmond Street, who has been missing for a week, persons who say they have been victimized have caused the arrest of Boleslun F. Rondtinski, of Franklin Street, above Poplar, who is said to have been secretary to the missing banker.
Rondtinski will have a hearing before Magistrate Call this morning. Adolph Liebgardt, of Salmon Street, Richmond, will appear as prosecutor. He asserts that he paid $51 to Rondtinski some time ago, and that the money should have been sent to his parents in Europe. This was not done, he says.
Liebgardt declares that this is the first of a series of suits to be brought against Rondtinski. “If we can’t get Rainke, we’ll have to do the next best,” he is said to have remarked.
Rainke’s whereabouts are not known.
