1. Promissory Note.

$100.00 Chicago, 111., July 1st, 1911.

August first, 1911, after date, for value received, I promise to pay to the order of William Smith, the sum of One Hundred (100) Dollars, at 1011 Blank Street, Chicago, Illinois, with interest at 6% per cent, per annum.

(sd.) Walter W. Johnson.

2. Judgment Note.

Add to the above note above the place for the signature the following:

And to secure the payment of said amount I hereby authorize, irrevocably, any attorney of any Court of Record to appear for me in such Court, in term time or vacation, at any time hereafter, and confess a judgment, without process, in favor of the holder of this Note, for such amount as may appear to be unpaid thereon, together with costs and ten dollars attorney's fees, and to waive and release all errors which may intervene in any such proceedings, and consent to immediate execution upon such judgment, hereby ratifying and confirming all that my said attorney may do by virtue hereof.

(Note: It is better to purchase forms of judgment notes from local stationers, as such forms embody peculiar provisions applicable to the condition of the law in the state involved. The above is a form used in Illinois. Judgment notes however, are not widely used. They are used in Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Mexico and Wisconsin.)

3. Bill of Exchange.

Cincinnati, Ohio, June 1, 1911. One month after date, pay to the order of William H. White, One Hundred Dollars. Value received, and charge to the account of

(sd) Walter W. Johnson. To Oliver Smith,

Chicago, Illinois.

An acceptance of the above bill would read as follows: "Accepted, Chicago, June 3rd, 1911," and would be written across the face of the bill. Oliver Smith might also in such acceptance name the place of payment above his signature, thus, "Payable at 16th National Bank, Chicago." This qualification is permitted; but if he should say "Payable at 16th National Bank and not elsewhere," that would be a qualified acceptance and constitute dishonor, unless the holder assented.
