SCRAPS
*
It has been said that the most successful
farmer is the one who looks closest after the
scraps. Perhaps that idea may apply to us who
follow other vocations. The scraps-—the slight
profits, the little extras from side-lines—may be
a factor in your success if they are carefully
handled. Conserve those items in an account with
a safe, sound and successful Bank. You may be
surprised at the growth of your balance. We
shall welcome the privilege of serving you.
