Cancelled Checks
Often we are called on to produce c?r,celled
checks which settle an account in dispute.
There is no argueing about the evidence—the
check—its amount, endorsement and date are
k final.
Is it not strange that there are s-tili some people
who do not apply this insutance against a dou
ble payment to their own personal bills? And
it does not cost amthiag, either.
