GEORGIA’S ROADS COST PER MILE THAN , ANY OTHER STATE FRED WEST AGAIN IN THE TOILS OF THE LAW Getting The Comforts. Of Life Happiness reigns and a spirit of contentment pre vails in the white, vine-covered cottage around the corner. It is owned by one of the regular fellows whom we all know. In front, half-hidden among the trees, awaits, an auto ready to take the family out for an afternoon’s pleasure. All his and all paid 'for. Surely an inspiration to all that behold. It repre sents, as do most of the worth-while things of life, a background of hard work, study and thrift. The comforts of life are within the reach of all. Happiness and contentment can, if you so will, be long to you. Are you comfortable and happy in your surround ings or disgruntled with your lot in life? Hard work and systematic savings are the graces that open comfort’s door. Regularly setting aside a portion of.the income, keeps it open. We have studied these problems—these problems of life’s comforts. Will you let us impart the results of our conclusions to you? CITIZENS BANK CARROLLTON, GA.
