THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, JANUARY7, 193 U Sending Money to Distant Points YOU can send any amount of money to any point in Canada at a minimum of expense by using a Bank of Com- merce money order. This method is the simplest, safest and most con- venient way to send remittan;es by n-.ail in the Dominion; if the mail goes astray, no loss is sustained. Should you desire to send money to e poir>t outside the country, a Bahk r.i Commerce Bank Draft will serve your purpose for forwarding money to foreign places.
