OPENING AN ACCOUNT WITH A BANK A person opening an account with a bank first gives his signature to the bank, in order that his orders for payment may be identified. He then receives a bank book in which his deposits may be entered, and a check book filled with blank orders on the bank, each of which is attached to a stub, on which a memorandum of each order may be kept. When Mr. Arnold presents this check for payment, he indorses it, that is, orders it paid, by writing his name on the back. The bank then pays to him the sum named. Men in business usually deposit checks in the bank in which they keep their money, and the bank collects for them, placing the sums collected to their credit. The maker of a check is the one who signs it. The payee is the person to whose order it is payable. Name the maker of the above check; the payee; the face. Checks are usually indorsed in one of these ways: (1) Indorsement in blank. Arthur L. Arnold When the person to whom the check is payable simply signs his name on the back, the indorsement is an indorsement in blank. (2) Indorsement in full. Pay to the order of If Mr. Arnold does not choose to draw the money himself, he may transfer the check to any other person, and the latter per son may collect the sum named. This is an indorsement in full. The indorsement of a check should always be written across the back of the left-hand end. A check containing the words "to the order of" or "or order," may be collected by the payee or by any person to whom he orders it paid. A check not containing the above words can be collected only by the person to whom it is payable. WRITTEN EXERCISE Using the name of some local bank, make out slips for the following deposits: 1.
