Commencement Day a Good Time
To Commence to Bank Your Money
THE GIRL GRADUATE of today is equip

The Boy who passes out of the public schools
knows a good deal more than he ought to remember
and a good deal less than he ought to forget than
the boy who was graduated a decade and a half ago.
There is just one lesson we want to emphasize in
extending our congratulations to all folks in
our community who are graduating tins spring and
that is the importance of a bank account as an aid
toward succesi.
Money is not everything. But it procures 96 per

a reasonable length of time will be
given the contractor in which to sub
