“ENCLOSED FIND CHECK-”
Three pleasant words with a deep
meaning.
They mean that the sender is one
who knows how to do business;
who has a bank account, and who,
therefore, is likely to have a good
credit rating and whose business is
a reliable, going concern.
Pay by check. It’s the modern
way to do business and to meet
your obligations. Open an account
