The
One
Sure
Way
to have money is to save it. The one sure way
to save it is by depositing it in a responsible bank
You will then be exempt from the annoyance of
having it burn holes in your pockets, and aside
from the fact that your money will be safe from
theft, the habit of saving tends to the establish-
ment of thrift, economy, discipline and a general
understanding of business principals essential to
your success.
This Banks responsibility is Half a Million
Dollars, always having on hand funds to
loan for legitimate purposes and leaves nothing
undone for the care and protection of its depos-
itors and to those wishing to establish relations
with a safe, strong bank, we heartily} extend our
services.

Letter to Abe May
Mangum, Texas.
Dear Sir: You are to paint Mr.
-’a house for $-we won’t tell
your private affairsinno matter
what figure, its a fair price.
What paint’ll you use?
We’re thinking of one, all paint
and as strong as a paint can be;
it’ll take about 15 gallons, 75 dol-
lars for paint and painting.
Another, half paint; it’ll take a-
bout 30 gallons of that, 150 dollars
for paint and painting.
The least-gallons paint, of course
will wear a long time; the other is
good while it lasts. Least gallons,
least cost, best job.
It isn’t every trade . that lets a
man do a cheap job and make mon-
ey and friends like that.
