Start Your Child
Right
No matter what heritage you leave—your child
will some day be dependent on self.
If left with a fortune already earned, the habits
formed in early years will determine how wisely
that fortune will be spent or used.
A bank account will encourage habits of thrift,
saving and industry.
A training like this from childhood will qualify
them for business success in later life.
Think it over.

falling off of the past year’s crop

TORNADOS
We wish to again remind you that the storm
period is here and with it comes the dangers of
losing much of your property so hard earned
and during the present financial crisis, so val-
uable. You certainly haven’t forgotten the
storm we had only a few years ago. Another
such storm, damaging the homes and other val-
uable property at the present time would of
course place many in a homeless state, and with-
out the means to replace.
It is not our endeavor to recall the horrible sus-
pense of the endurance of that time but only to
remind you of the chance you are taking with-
out protection.
The rate on tornado insurance is only 30c per
one hundred dollars insurance and can be writ-
ten three years for two and one half annual pre-
miums. This is certainly cheap Insurance and
one of the many examples of necessary pro-
tection.
