MESSAGE
fROM THE
PRESIDENl
TO MY FELLOW WORKERS:
Lasi month in this space I men
tioned the Payroll Savings Plan
by which a person can accumu-
late United States bonds with
small deductions from his check
at each pay peiiod.
That is an excellent Method
of saving. But even more funda
mental than the Method is the
Principle of Saving. Before de
ciding how he will save, a person
must determine why. He must
reach his own conclusions on the
benefits he will gain from "hav
ing money" as compared with
spending it as he makes it.
Today, that is a more impor-
temt question than even a year
ago. Throughout the nation, as in
the Anvil Brand Organization,
there have been widespread ad
justments in personal incomes.
Virtually every pay check is
more now than it was then. What
becomes of that "more?"
And there is where the Prin
ciple of Saving comes in. Will we
have the vision and foresight to
use this added income to build
a brighter and more secure fu
ture?
That question points up an in
teresting fact disclosed by a na-
tion-wide inquiry conducted last
year by the United States League
of Savings & Loan Associations.
Among great numbers of savers
who were questioned 56 per cent
gave their No. 1 reason for sav
ing as being future security. We
all are well aware of what is
happening in the present. But
there is no way to be positive of
what is yet to come. Causes be
yond human control bring ups
and downs throughout life. Pru
dent people prepare for a down
condition during the period when
they are "up."
Perhaps you recall that fable
about the ants and the grass
hopper which so well illustrates
the virtue of being prepared,

AN EASTER BASKET FULL OF GOOD EGGS — Easter is the one time of the
year when milady can really indulge herself as far as the hat department is con
cerned. Does she desire a flowery one, a frilly one, a plain one? Whatever her wish,
Easter is the time to take off on that flijht of fancy, because the “Easter Bonnet”
has become a tradition in our land. Six Anvil Brand ladies, wearing their selections
for this year’s Easter parade are shown in the Easter Bunny’s basket above.
Upper left is Nellie Whitley of Hudson Division, who chose a white straw with
small band of jewel trim and brief veil. Center is Polly Cannon of Overall who is
wearing a flower hat that sets off her auburn hair extremely well. Louise Welch
of Sherrod Office, upper right, chose a white straw with flower trim and veil. Hat
tie Banner of Sherrod is wearing a small white straw with back bow and veil.
Alma Paul of Hudson Office will wear this white pique number with attractive
forward bow, in the Easter Parade. Carmen Charles, lower right, will greet the
Easter Bunny with an off the face beige and light brown straw. Pretty fancy—
aren’t they?
