FOR SAVING

You'll find it an easy task to save if you
keep your "spending" money in a
Sayings Account With the Houston
National Exchange Bank
There it is safe and can be drawn upon when
needed. .
A rekjictance to draw from that account will grow
upon you and protect you from many needless ex-
penditure!!. Many men and women are working out this
scheme with us to advantage.
It's worth your trying.
