Want to display your union pride and membership with local merchants and others--every time you write a check? Well, now you can with union-printed personal checks offered through the BMWE Union-Made Check Program.

And thanks to several recent program improvements, you may now also order loose-leaf ledger business checks and laser checks (checks that may be printed using a computer laser printer) through the program.

Union-Made checks are union-printed and come complete with the "Buy Union, Buy American" logo and an insignia reflecting your BMWE membership.

One order of checks costs only $9.95 for 200, plus $1.50 for postage and handling ($3.50 for priority mail). These personal checks are competitively priced and are accepted by all banks and credit unions.

Members may also purchase return-address labels. These optional stickers, which come complete with the member's name, address and "Buy Union, Buy American" logo are $6.95 (plus $1.95 for postage and handling) for a quantity of 240.

Ordering checks and address labels is easy: Simply send in the order form along with your check or money-order payment, and one voided existing check from your bank checkbook (needed for encoded account numbers). Then allow three weeks for delivery. There is no need to change accounts, banks or anything else, the Union-Made Check Program will fill the order the same way your bank's printer would.

If you wish to order the optional return-address stickers, please fill out the appropriate area on the form and make sure your correct address is included.
