"Easy come, easy go" explains the failure of thous
ands of well paid workers to get ahead in the world, to
, ?
better their condition, to own a home, provide for old age
and give their children a better chance than they had.
Start a "Savings" account with at least one-tenth of
your earnings deposited on every pay day. You can
.
easily adjust your expenditures so that you will never
miss this amount. It is all a question of depositing it
and letting it stay in the bank.
Many-great fortunes were originated in this way?
by saving a certain percentage of earnings and putting
it to work for you day and night and on holidays. It in
creases your capital, and the return is steadily growing.
Start a "SAVINGS" account now and watch it grow.
