  ANDERSON, District Judge.
  The Day & Night National Bank of Pikeville, Ky., in January, 1925, issued to W. P. T. Varney the following certificate of deposit:
  “The Day & Night National Bank of Pike-ville.
  No. 220.
  “This certifies that W. P. T. Varney has deposited in this bank thirty-five hundred dollars payable to himself order twelve months after date on the return of this certificate properly indorsed. This bank may request thirty days’ notice of the time when payment will be required to meet the requirements of Federal Reserve Board regarding time deposits.
  “With 4 per cent, interest if left twelve months.
  “No interest after 12 months unless renewed.
  “Not subject to check.
  “0. 0. Graham, Cashier.”
  The words above italicized are typewritten ; the others were printed.
  The defendant in error, George W. Coffey, purchased the certificate before maturity, without notice of any existing equity between the bank and Varney, from the latter, who indorsed the certificate. When the certificate became due, Mr. Coffey presented it for payment, and payment was refused. He then brought suit against the hank for recovery of the amount named in the certificate, with interest.
  The hank admitted liability upon the certificate, but pleaded a set-off, on the ground that Varney was indebted to it in the sum of $5,000. Its contention was, and is, that the defendant in error is not a holder in due course, because (a) the instrument is not negotiable, (b) the instrument is not complete, and (e) the instrument is not regular. Contentions (b) and (c) are in essence contained in contention (a) that the instrument is not negotiable.
  To this pleading the defendant in error demurred, and the demurrer was sustained by the District Court.
  The substance of the contention of plaintiff in error is that the certificate was payable only to Varney (himself).
  The theory of defendant in - error is that the words “payable to himself order” are equivalent to “payable to himself or order.”
  The plaintiff in error maintains that there is a conflict between the typewritten .word “himself” and the printed word “order,” and that the conflict must be resolved in favor of the written word.
  Admitting this rule of construction, the position of the defendant in error is that— taking the whole instrument into consideration — there is no conflict to be resolved.
  By the’ Kentucky Statutes, a negotiable instrument must “be payable to the order of a specified person or to bearer.” Section 3720bl. An instrument is “payable to order where it is drawn payable to the order of a specified person, or to him or his order.” Section 3720b8, Kentucky Statutes. The instrument “need not follow the language of this act, but any terms are sufficient which clearly indicate an intention to conform to the requirements thereof.” Section 3720bl0.
  Laying aside consideration of the words of the instrument which follow “payable to himself order,” viz. “on the return of this inT strument properly indorsed,” what is the construction which would be reasonably placed on “payments to himself order?” The plaintiff in error contends it means simply “payable to himself.” In other words, the court must do for the bank what it did not do for itself, strike out the word “order.”
  In Williston on Contracts, vol. 2, pp. 1205, 1206, it is said: “Of course if the written and printed matter can by any reasonable construction be reconciled, this will be done.”
  It is not unreasonable to construe “payable to himself order” as equivalent to, or meaning “himself or order.” Otherwise a word npist be stricken “from the four corners of the instrument,” or the court must make the assumption that the bank by inadvertence, error, or carelessness failed-to strike out the word “order.” There is no evidence in the record on which such a presumption can be based, unless it is on the face of the instrument itself.
  “A bill or note, the same as any other instrument, must be construed as a whole, so • as to give effect to every part of it, if possible. The contract must be collected from the four corners of the document, and no part of what appears there is to be excluded.” 8 C. J. § 136, pi 185.
  It is said that the words, “on return of this certificate properly indorsed,” indicate negotiability. Whatever tendency they have on that subject is plainly in that direction; and they may properly operate to confirm a conclusion that the earlier part of the instrument satisfies the statutory definition of what is negotiable. Whether they would alone justify that conclusion (as held in Forrest v. Safety Co. [C. C.] 174 F. 345) we need not consider.
  The certificate contains the following language: “This bank may. require thirty days’ notice of the time when payment will be required to meet the requirements of Federal Reserve Board regarding time deposits.”
  It is argued’ for plaintiff in error that this provision render^ the instrument nonnegotiable. The case of First National Bank v. Golden, 19 Cal. App. 501, 126 P. 498, is cited as authority for this position. The G.olden Case involved an order drawn by one on his deposit in a savings bank, which was by reason of a requirement of the bank not to be paid till thirty days’ notice to it, and which further required presentment of the depositor’s passbook with the order. The case of White v. Cushing, 88 Me. 339, 34 A. 164, 32 L. R. A. 590, 51 Am. St. Rep. 402, involved an order containing these words: “The bank book of the depositor must accompany this order.”
  In the above eases the delivery of the passbook was a condition precedent to recovery. There is no such condition in the instant case. An instrument, to be negotiable under the Kentucky statute, must be payable on demand or at a fixed or determinable .future time. In this ease the certificate was payable twelve months after date, with an option on the part of the bank to extend the time of payment for thirty days Unless the holder of the certificate should give notice thirty days prior to the expiration of the 12 months’ period that payment would be demanded at that time;
  The certificate of deposit is held to be negotiable, and the defendant in error a holder in due course.
  Affirmed.
instruction: What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
  Intervenors who participated as parties at the courts of appeals should be counted as either appellants or respondents when it can be determined whose position they supported. For example, if there were two plaintiffs who lost in district court, appealed, and were joined by four intervenors who also asked the court of appeals to reverse the district court, the number of appellants should be coded as six.
  When coding the detailed nature of participants, use your personal knowledge about the participants, if you are completely confident of the accuracy of your knowledge, even if the specific information is not in the opinion. For example, if "IBM" is listed as the appellant it could be classified as "clearly national or international in scope" even if the opinion did not indicate the scope of the business. 
  
  Your task concerns the first listed appellant. The nature of this litigant falls into the category "private business (including criminal enterprises)", specifically "financial institution". Your task is to determine what subcategory of business best describes this litigant.
