In , I fact, our authority tells us that there are! cases on record where checks, properly and \ legally worded, were written out on such Unlikely is a cigarette paper, a cookie, a''postage stamp, , the tail of a white linen shirt and the reverse side of a traffic summons. , 1 This was all rathf Interesting but it didn’t occur to us to inquire how these unorthodox check-writers went a*bout getting their creditors to accept;‘‘reasonable facsimilies” of this nature. If this practice should happen to catch on. we can think of many fascinating media to substitute for the everyday check. In fact, it might be downright painless to- welcome the fjrst of the month with a batch of checks written out —legally worded, of course-*—on neat sheets of ice. Melting checks donjt sound very practical but ‘a visit to J 46 S. Second Street certainly sounds like a good idea!
