YOUR RAINY DAY FRIENDS
Dollars to your credit in a bank means prestige to your
social and business affairs to say nothing of the staunch
and independent bearing its lends to your personal make-

Keeping money around the house is not only old fashion-
ed and out of keeping with the advancing times but it is
clso dangerous. A single match can start a blaze that
will in a few seconds destroy the saving of a life time.
Begin to save today. Start a bank account.
