N O T E T H E RECEIPT

Bank Money Orders provide a new, easy way to pay b..Is and make remittances, safely, by mail. They ar# used in tlje same way as Postal or Express Money Orders, but are more conveniently obtained; issued for any amount and accepted everywhere, and their coat is very low. Another advantage is that you get a definita receipt-a complete record of the transaction and a positive proof of payment.
