A WOMAN’S
SAVINGS
Are often more important to her than a man’s can
be to him. The woman who is suddenly thrown
on hr own resources or faced with a sudden need
for money is placed much worse than a man in
similar situation.
The savings account that you start today for
your daughter may some day stand between her
and hardship. Save for her, and, better yet, teach
her to save for herself.
