Arc You an Independent American Citizen ?
During the coming Presidential Campaign, you will read a thousand
appeals to the “Independent Citizens of the United States”.
A man is not independent if he has no money saved up, if he must
look to somebody else, independent every time he needs a little cash.
A man is not if his business is in such shape that he
cannot move unless some other man will loan him a little money.
The Fall season is at hand. Put by something in the bank so that
when this time of need comes you will not have to depend upon some other
man for what you must have.
You may have needed money in the past when you had no way of
getting it—you don’t want this to happen again. Or if you have never been
so unfortunate, don’t let yourself get Don’t in this put shape. Keep ahead of the
game. Build up a bank account. it off ’till next month, or
next year. DO IT NOW!
