FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1919, by Frank Crane) | The two great things that have made Modern Business possible, that have raised it from the grade of the banana stand to that of the wholesale house, are The Bank Check and The Credit System. They have expanded business a thousand- fold, and without the mischief that lies in inflated currency. And now comes a Third, THE TRADE | ACCEPTANCE.

Signing Out of the sirable credit | financial orgar is to be paid upon presentation at maturity or thereafter, Mr. Buyer returns this ac- ceptance to Mr. Seller, whose name is signed to it as the drawer.
