★★★ · The Story of Cheques · Dodsworth the Cat · 2022-12-08

Once there was a time when Studebakers roamed the streets, when grocery clerks stacked cans in the shape of a pyramid, and when people paid for most everything with a cheque, if not cash. Today, with e-transfers and debit cards, well, the world has changed. Cheques aren't used as often now, but this film gives a real basic primer on how they work and how to write one. It gets its point across, using two sets, a few outside shots and some graphics.
