TOO LATE
A MAN WAS RUNNING hard to catch a
car. He was almost ready to swing
aboard when the car started forward and the
conductor closed the door.
A friend who was near him said: . "John, yon
didn 't run fast enongh. ' '
y ? ...
"Yes I did rrm fast enough^-' he replied, "but
I didn't start soon enough."
And that will be the story of a lot of folks who
put off saving money until they are well along
in years. They may save as fast as they can
but they will find they did not start Boon
enough.
?
A dollar saved by a child will grow into several
dollars before old age comes.? That is why we
urge all young people to learn to save money.
