A DIVIDEND TALE
Once there was a student at KU who saved all of his cash (and check) receipts from the KU Bookstores. He knew that one day his receipts would bring him fame and fortune. Soon he had a vast collection of cash (and check) receipts.
Finally, redemption day was proclaimed and the student brought all his cash (and check) receipts to the KU Bookstore. He received about 6% back from all the cash (and check) receipts he had saved. He didn't really become famous, but he did become richer.
You can be richer, too. Save all your cash (and check) receipts this semester. Then, one day in the future, redemption day will be announced and you can turn all your cash (and check) receipts in for about a 6% refund.
A wonderful service and happy ending.
All yours from the KU Bookstores
The End
