Conscience talks to all—but few have the courage to obey. The man
who has strength es will to regulate his affairs to conditions as they -exist
and saves regularly soon finds that conditions change—and always for tho
better.
Conscience says SAVE! So why don’t you start this week . This institu
tion pays. 4 per cent on savings accounts and stands ready to assist deposit
ors in many ways.
MAKE THIS YOUK BANK
Cordially yours.
