THE VALUE OF A SMILE
Nobody ever added up
The value of a smile;
We know how much a dollar’s
And how much is a mile;
iW« know the distance to the sun;
The size and weight of the earth;
But no one here can tell us just
How much a smile Is worth.

PAY YOURSELF
It’s great to “spend” money when
you pay it over to yourself. There’s
a thrill about it peculiar satis- ......-i
faction—a feeling of security.
Hundreds of our depositors enjoy
this sens* of security as they make
regular deposits hi their accounts.
They know they are just taking it
from theipselves now, ta small sums,
to be used later for a home, a farm,
or a business or for investment. To
what they save we add compound in
terest and this makes their balanees
grow.
