ARG A
Have you saved the money you eamed, or did you
yield to the impulse of spending all you made? Did
you foresee the opportunities for safe and profitable
investments that are daily offered, or were you satis
fied to eke out the existence of an impecunious clerk
all your days?
Better think the matter over carefully and start to
save. It may come hard at first, but soon you will
begin to wonder how much, instead of how little you
can save.
$l.OO starts an account and we pay a liberal rate
of mterest on Savings Depostts.
