Nothing Succeeds-
-Like Success
It is an old saw; but it cuts with razor edge.
Success is not achieved without effort; bank ac-
counts are the result of steady plugging, determin-
ation, regular saving. Success breeds success. Each
dollar saved father another. Dollars beget dollars.
Interest adds to them. In building for your success,
you are your own architect. No one else can take
the contract. Nothing succeeds like success. Each
achievement makes another achievement possible.
