Before making an investment
yon should always satisfy your

first, then of the probable rate
of increase. If you’re careful
and shrewd, you will put your
money into a Savings Bank.
With an institution like the
Gastonia Savings Bank it’s
absolutely removed front all riak.
What’s more, it increases steadi
ly and at tbe highest rate consist
ent with secure investments.
Lastly, your capital grows with
