Keep Your Savings
At Home
The spark that keeps business good in any town
is the money that financial institutions have
available for loans. Take our Association, for
example.
f *
Because our people believe in thrift and entrust
their money to our care we have funds to loan
for buying, building or improving a home. This
in turn gives employment to carpenters, electri
cians, plumbers... everyone associated with the
building trades. But when people save in distant
cities, this money is unavailable locally which
causes our economy to slump . . . slow down.
Be loyal to your home town. Help keep our
community a better place in which to live and
oo business by saving four money at home.
