. Hbwever there must be some-
thing more than this. Much ef-
fort is wasted for lack of proper
" "management.
The careful husbanding of ones
resources together with system'
ntic saving and honest methods
contribute finally to any success
worth while.
We contend that our Savings
Department offers just the vslim-
tilus to any man or woman of
large ambitions.
Aside from the matter of saving
money and drawing interest;
there is the larger idea of devel-
oping the elements of real suc-
cess. Come along now and join our
large list of systematic savers.
Your money is absolutely safe
and you get interest besides.
