Did you ever hear of a “sinking fund”? It goes by various
names, but that is a goud one. It means a part of the profits set
aside for a certain purpose.
When times are good or just normal,? set| aside every month a
part of your profits, letting it accumulate in your bank. It will
• draw interest, and some day, when business is very bad that sink
ing fund will come in handy.
