Time oavrrients buying is an ef fective aid to mai-.y people. When people mit have things before they have the money to pay for them, time payments serve a valuable pur pose. When pecple secure things that they could wait a bit for, when they take them new just because the monthly terms' lock easy, they are paying extra for a service that often is not worth what the buyer must 3ay- Do you know what it costs you to l)uy things on time? If you knew, would. you be willing to pay a prem ium for practically everything you secure? We say "practically" every thing because when people start buy ing a few things on" time, they soon start buying more things that- way. The time comes when all of , the mis cellaneous payments due, take every cent of the income. Often, people become so involved that they cannot keep up the many payments. The washing machine or ihe automobile that is half paid fbr goes back to the dealer from whom it was purchased and the person who is involved, has .paid, a terrific price lor the service cbtained. Let's look at a typical case. A man who has an old car that might run for a year or two longer, decides to get a new glittering car in about the $1500 class. - , ... je turIJS m jjjj- 0i(j car and' pays a lew nuuureu uuhais. r-i cia j figuring, we'll say- he owes about $875 on the new car. He wants to pay for it in 18 equal monthly pay ments. Interest and carrying charges are added bringing the total up to approximately $1000 on which he must pay $55.50 monthly. j The question is, what has the ser vice cost him actually. If he had decided to drive the old car for 18 months longer, he could have put $55.50 awav; He could have saved that moneyv In 18 months, with earnings added, he would have had about $1050. Thus, you see he lost $175, or ap proximately $10.00 monthly for which he received no tangible value but merely the accomodation of time payments. Tn other words he paid a premium of about 10 per cent of the value of liis car. It is, easy to see? that people who pay. 10. per . cent cvtra for almost everything, are going to get about 10 per cent less value out of their total income. , " . To get the biggest value out of your income, you must put yourself on a cash basis as speedily as pos sible. When you do that, you can have just as much as you had form erly and still save 10 per cent of your income. Such a saving schedule, with the earnings, will create a fund that will eventually make you independent. Before you spend, look the facts in the face and calmly decide whether it is worth it or not. The above, when you 'first read it, might be construed to be a lick at installment buying. It is not. It is a plain statement of facts with re gard to needless installment buying. The man who sells a commodity on the installment plan must charge for that service. You are going to get a WHEN GREAT SHIPS SINK Usually, there is just a little leak, at first. Little leaks have a way of developing into big leaks. : Finally, with a rush of mighty waters, the ship goes down. Personal indulgences, a scorn for small su'ms, opeh-handed spending habits, all are little leaks in a person's program, AT FIRST. Finally, that person is swallowed up, an abject pauper. That's why we counsel you to thrift. That's why you should maintain an account with us. Keep your good ship . tight. Office Hour: 9 A. M. to 5 P. M.

By waiting 18 months, as suggested above, you buy that car on a cash basis, and instead of paying for it while you are wearing it out, you are accumulat ing the money to buy the next one. You will use a given number of cars in the course of a lifetime whether. they are purchased on the installment plan or you pay cash for them. Now, figure your, saving $175 on each car in this way over the period of a lifetime and see what you have. HAVE YOU FAITH IN THIS COMMUNITY?

THE "BEST" THRIFT ACCOUNT Andrew Cargenie defined it com pletely when he said that the best way to accumulate money is to reso lutely set aside a fixed amount of your income, no matter how Small the amount. The item of regular saving is well provided for in our plan of operation. We recommend that you set aside a fixed and definite payment for each and every month, and STICK TO it. ;. "he meant well, tried lit tle and failed much" On a head stone in a . cemetery near Saratoga, New York, a wife had the courage to thus summarize the record of. her. spouse. Any person with or without an ac tive Thrift Account will appreciate this epitaph. V We all want to accumulate money. We all can, if we really try. Success, not failure, results. CAN YOU AFFORD TO LOSF? t With men who can save thousands of dollars in a comparatively short time, we are not concerned. If anv one can afford to lose through poor investment, they can. The man or woman who works hard for his or her money and is able to save a, few dollars each month cannot afford to lose one pen ny.
