N.B.-Remember there must always be a Stamp to every Cheque, whether written on a sheet of paper or on a printed Form. Take Stamps with you when you go abroad.

Transferring Money.-It is often convenient to write a note to your Banker, to transfer money you owe to another, who banks at the same Bank as yourself. In this case there is no possibility of fraud or loss from the miscarriage of your letter. You may write thus :

Please pay Six Pounds Five Shillings (£6:5:0) to Mr. Francis Mark's account with

you.

To open an Account with a Banker.-It is often convenient to have a Banker in London as well

as one in the country.

an account," that is, to begin banking with one, obtain an introduction, and write thus to the new Banker-say Messrs. Coutts :
