HERE’S THE WAY TO SUCCESS
No man jumps into success at a leap. No great inven
tion has been a sudden thing. Henry Ford mas a me
chanic before he was an automobile wizard. He did not
dream a Ford car; he worked it out, and it took years.
In your efforts to succeed it is better to lay a foun
dation, as the mason lays bricks by adding one brick at
a time. Saving regularly and making regular deposits
at this bank, to draw interest for you, will lead to your
permanent success. Interest added to the principal at
regular times increases the whole sum remarkably fast.
History repeats itself, and all the great fortuius of
to day had their beginning in a small Savings account.
Your account and influence will be appreciated.
