| Eunique features of checks and check writing in the late 1930's • Checks were not personalized with the drawer's name and address, numbered, or with bank routing / account number. • Few checks, issued to individuals, were deposited in the payee's bank account. Most checks were cashed at a place of business. • Routing to the Federal Reserve Bank - checks were stamped by hand on the reverse side, some as many as four times. |
