Our people hadturned out in large numbers in hopesof hearing a lecture on Woodcraft, butwith the exception of a few wordsregarding his being a Woodman, andthe able introduction by Rev.

..BANK MONEY ORDERS..We have just made arrangements with The American Bankers Association to

issue their MONEY ORDERS payable anywhere in the United States.These orders arc guaranteed by The American (surety Company, of

New York, a company with a Capital of $1,500,000.00, and there is absolutely norisk in sending money through the mails in this w’ay.

Ifa letter containing one of these money orders should be lost or stolen wewould immediately stop payment on the order and issue a new one without anyexpense or trouble to the purchaser.

They are much cheaper than either l’ostoflice or Express Orders as the follow-ing table will show’:

Cost of Postoffice or Express Orders Cost of Bank Money Orders:Not over $ 5.00 5 cents Not over $ 5.00 5 cents“ “ $ 10.00 8 “ “ “ S 10.00 5 "“ “ 8 20.00 10 “ “ “ $ 20.00 10 “

“ $ 30.00 12 “ “ “ $ 30.00 10 ““ “ $ 40.00 15 “ “ “ $ 40.00 10 ““ “ 8 50.00 18 “ “ “ 8 50.00 10 ““ “ 8 00.00 20 “ “ “ 8 00.00.. 10 ““ * “ 8 75.00 25 “ “ “ 8 75.00 10 ““ “ 8100.00 30 “ “ “ 8100.00 10 “

Try one of these BANK MONEY ORDERS the next time you have tosend any money away. It is not necessary to till out an application, as it is at thepost office. Simply step into the bank and say “Iwant to buy a Money Order”for whatever the amount is you wish to send.

They are absolutely safe, as no one can draw the money except the person towhom the order is made out.
