THE HOUSE-KEPT
DOLLAR
It doesn't stay in the house long. It's.so easy to spend
money when you have it at hand. It's easy going and
when it starts it's gone. You've tried a lot of times to
hold onto the House-kept dollar haven't you? Why
not bank it here? You can get it whenever you want
it, but you won't spend it when you don't want to do so.

a h'ltle out of meager earnings against later needs. And
during the Revolutionary war Morris gave generously
cf his resources for the blessed cause. His savings
helped make tha Nation.

funds to conduct a war foi Independence. It is quits
likely, though, that you will need savings to tide you
over a family sick spell or save you from misfortune.

Start an account at this bank with a part of '
your next salary. Add to the nest egg every pay'day.
Watch the fund grow in a safe place and be able to
face the future courageously and independently. J
