ONE
SURE
WAY!
To have money is to save it. The
only sure way to save it is by depos-
iting it in a responsible bank. You
will tbea be exempt from the annoy-
ance of having it burn holes in your
pockets, and aside from the fact that
your money will be safe from thefr,
the habit of saving tends to tho es-
tablishment of thrift, economy, dis-
cipline and a general understanding
of business principles essential to
your success.
ONE
SURE
WAY!
To never have any money or to nev-
er have ¡i good credit is to carry It
around in your pockets, thereby
taking chances on loosing it or hav-
ing it stolen, or burned up. Never
leave your money in a bank and
never use a check and you will nev-
er have a good credit. Carrying
your money in your pocket encour-
ages extravagance, which is always
a serious drawback to thrift and
economy. '

When you have a little Money put it in the Bauk and
then when Hard Times come you will feel like going to
your Banker and asking for accommodations.
