Vol. 12. —No. 34. 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. BANK OF GUMMING, STATE DEPOSITORY. Local and Personal News of Interest. Going and Coming of People Gathered at Random For the Readers of The News.
