To The Parents:
You are, of course, vitally interested in the de
velopment of the character and habits of your chil
dren.
Are you overlooking one of the most important
factors in their training?
A savings account will instill habits of thrift and
self denial. These will prove to be two of their
most valuable charcteristics in later years.
Bring your child to this bank and let him or her
open an iftterest paying account. Keep the child
coming here regularly—the law of habit will do
the rest. '
