desiring guidance in their money ma1
ters. In a word the policy of this ban
is to assist all who become patrons t
save their money, invest it wisely an
thereby secure for themselves comfoi
and independence when their days c
labor are past. A notable instance c
the nroeressive nolicv of this instiutin
