After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Pasadena, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue.

Thus a check with the words "For depo it only" on its back can be used only for depo it jn the bank account of the payee, and i n ot usable by an one else. How long can a check be h eld? Legally, a check i good in mast states for six years.
