I love going through old records in our 'Rhode Island Room.' We have an original hand-written ledger of our early resources, and some of the listed books reside in our special collection now.
Nice job with the picture, as I'm about to tell Argos...
The discrepency is purely due to individual station owners changing what they thing the market will bear. It happens here all the time but it bites them in the bum if they charge too much because noone goes to them.
I never understood the idea of cheques because I was around when Eftpos was so I could never understand the point. Why would you have cancelled cheques? *scratches his head*
In the simplest of terms, a canceled check is an audit trail. The markings show how it was processed and are legal proof that the payment was made and where the money went.
Last year the banking laws were changed in the US and the banks no longer have to return canceled checks at all, so of course they've stopped doing it. I'm still angry about that. It leaves you entirely at their mercy if they mess up their records, or someone hacks up their system.
