Cancelled Checks
Often we are called on to produce cancclled
checks which settle an account in dispute. .
There is no argueing about the evidence—the
check—its amount, endorsement and date are
final.
Is it not strange that there are still some people
who do not apply t!-U insurance against a dou
ble payment to their own personal bills? And
it does not cost anjthiag. either.
