It is hard 'to make an empty bag stand
upright j is an old saying but true. To fill
the bag takes care, wise planning and a
simple system. Keep up with the pennies,
the dimes and the dollars, save a part of
your weekly, monthly and yearly earnings,
put them away in the Bank and the bag will
soon be full enough to stand upright.
We invite your accounts. Make a de
posit to-day, however small, and get the «
habit of saving.
Cordially yours,
