Where Your blooey
Im Safe
Two young boys started out to v ;-k .One was not as adept as the oth
er and did not earn as much money but he saved a part of his earnings
each week and deposited it in the bank. The other boy desired to wait
until he had a large sum to deposit. You know the result, the boy that saved
(Consistently had a large reserve, and made a splendid business mao and a
wonderful success in life. The other j ust somehow never could get enough
to save, his spending was larger tha n his savings and he grew up to be a
spend thrift. The difference between fi oaneial success and failure is the dif
ference in the habit of saving. Form a saving habit, it pays. Come in and
talk it over with us, and open an account at this bank.
Cordially yours,
President.
