In these modern
and strenuous times there Is no middle ground. We
are either progressing or retrograding; we are eith
er going forward or backward. To which class do
you belong?
Are you spending more than you make? If you
are doing this, or if you are merely spending all you
make, you belong to the down hill class, for you are
losing the opportunity to lay up something for the
the future every day that passes. “Tho mill will
never grind with the water that has passed.”
On the other hand, if you are saving|persistantly
and systematically, be it ever so little, you are in
the up hill, or progressive class; you are not a drone
but are on the road to independence, and will some
day be a power in the land, for there never was a
truer saying than “money is power.”
Let us help you on the up-hill or progressive road.
