Return-Path: Received: from IUS5.IUS.CS.CMU.EDU by K.GP.CS.CMU.EDU id aa06830; 1 Apr 94 14:44:09 EST To: bovik+@k.gp.cs.cmu.edu Subject: Mail order checks printed on recycled paper Date: Fri, 1 Apr 94 14:44:03 EST From: jkr@IUS5.IUS.CS.CMU.EDU Sender: jkr@IUS5.IUS.CS.CMU.EDU I just wanted to let everybody know about a company that prints up checks and mails them to you for much less than what banks charge (e.g. $4.95 for 200 checks). And the best part is that they print their checks on recycled paper using soy-based inks. We're doing a great job recycling paper, but we also have to create the demand for recycled paper on the other end, and soy-based inks don't harm the environment like other ones do. The checks are as good and as cheap as you can find anywhere, so why not order from this company? Their name and address are: The Check Gallery P.O. Box 17400 Baltimore, MD 21203-7400 (800)354-3540 They have all sorts of nice designs, but the one I like best is a series of 4 checks, with a picture of either a panda, a dolphin, an eagle, or an elephant (I think), each in their natural habitat. It also has the recycled logo and the phrase "Earth Matters" on it, to help pass the message along. They also have all sorts of more conventional designs without the logos. Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with this company, but I am affiliated with planet earth. __________________________________________________________________________ Julio Kennedy Rosenblatt Carnegie Mellon University jkr+@cmu.edu 5000 Forbes Ave. Phone: (412) 268-6880 Smith Hall, Robotics Fax: (412) 621-1970 Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3891 Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.
