All depositors of the Georgia Savings Bank and Trust Company ars request ed to bring their pass books to the bank and hate the July Interest added. Amounts deposited before July 10th will draw Interest from July 1st. It Is a very noticeable fact with this bank that with each Interest period the same books sre presented for a larger In terest, together wltb many others that have Joined the ranks. It only goes to taste of Interest from a ban! never satisfied without It. It I* also noticeably true that when a man once forms the habit of saving h* never tires of It. A great many firms, manu- ‘ J ' are building facturera and corporations are up a surplus fund with this solid In stitution. Let every Atlantan make a firm resolve that at the end of the present year he will be worth more than at the present time and resolve further that he will not allow hta money to remain Idle.
