Out of Sight . Out of Mind Out of Business


The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or product, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.


K


The City Directory is the natural medium for keep- ing a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.

CASHIERS! TELLERS! CLERKS!


Do your employers furnish you with the latest edition of the City Directory?


You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few ques- tions, checked against City Directory information, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."


R. L. POLK & CO.'S


31


Don't Contribute to Counterfeiters KNOW YOUR MONEY!


Don't Be Fooled by Forgers KNOW YOUR ENDORSERS!


The Government never redeems counterfeit money!


1. KNOW YOUR MONEY! Study the bills you receive so as to become familiar with the workmanship on them, especially in the por- traits.


2. COMPARE a suspected bill with a genuine of the same type and denomination. Observe these things:


PORTRAIT Counterfeit-Dull, smudgy, or unnaturally white, scratchy; oval background is dark, lines irregular and broken. Portrait merges into the background.


Genuine-Stands out distinctly from the oval back- ground. Eyes appear lifelike. Back- ground is a fine screen of regular lines.


COLORED SEAL


Counterfeit-Saw-tooth points around rim are usu- ally uneven, broken off.


Genuine-Saw-tooth points around rim are even and sharp.


SERIAL NUMBERS


Counterfeit-Poorly printed, badly spaced, uneven in appearance.


Genuine-Figures firmly and evenly printed, well spaced.


PAPER


Counterfeit-Generally has no silk threads, but these may be imitated by very small red and blue ink lines.


Genuine-Printed on distinctive paper in which very small red and blue silk threads are scat- tered. The silk threads are not always noticeable on bills that are badly soiled or worn.


3. RUBBING a bill on a piece of paper will not prove it is genuine or counterfeit; ink can be rubbed from good bills as well as bad ones.


4. CONSULT an experienced money-handler or police officer to make sure, if you are still in doubt, whether a bill is genuine or coun- terfeit.


5. REMEMBER, NOT ALL STRANGERS ARE COUNTER- FEITERS, BUT ALL COUNTERFEITERS ARE LIKELY TO BE STRANGERS.


This Information Is reprinted from the U. S. Secret Service 32-page booklet, "KNOW YOUR MONEY", which tells how to detect counterfelt coins and bills and how to guard against losses from forged Government checks. Copies may be purchased for 10c each, or $7.50 per 100, from the Superintendent of Docu- ments, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.
