The Largest Railway Company
In this country has recently borrowed fifty million
dollars on its bonds from the people of France. This is
remarkable, owing to the large loans recently made by
the same people to the Russian government and else-
where in Europe. Where do the French people get all
this money? John D. Rockefeller, just returned from
Europe, tells the secret in seven words, viz: "The peo-
ple of France save their money." Would it not be well
for you to begin saving your money now? This strong
bank will welcome your account. Make the start today
by coming in and talking the matter over with the
cashier of
