WHY SHALL BOY WANTED BANK.
Caramon , Sense Sermon y an
Beoellfs of Savlax Preached by
Mechanic The Bank as a
Life-saver-Wile's Little Hoard
Kept Family Coin When Sick
ness Came.
The first person to enter the
office of The Gazette this morn
log alter tne omce torce were a
small boy and his father. The
lad was a diminutive youngster
at some 11 or 12 years and when
he bad applied for one of the
pocket banks that The Gazette
is giving its readers who desire
to start a savings bank account
on Saturday, was refused until
he had the sanction of bis
parents. The father came to
make - the sanction . sure. He
said : "The little fellow picks up
a considerable bit of money in
one way and another, selling
papers and . sometimes working
in a store. He wants to save it
and, after paying for his clothes,
his mother and I want bint to
He has several dollars now and
would like to have his own bank
account." The boy got the
bank, of course. The f ather is
a mechanic, who owns bis home
and his wife has a tidy savings
bank account of her own.
" I t- owe - the - home .to the
woman," he said, "brie started
saving long oetore I Knew
anything about it and when sick
ness came some years ago and I
was out of work she told me and
was a happy man. After I
got to work again I helped her
more towards the savings bank
than I had before and we have
always got along well by having
something, ahead. That's why
I want the little fellow to get the
habit while he s young. Then
he'll always keep it."
Trfere was a wnole sermon on
the necessities and benefits of
the savines bank in those . few
words. The forethought of the
wife in the days of steady work
and good health, in saving some
thing for the rainy day that did
come, as it always will; the sick
ness and misfortune that gen
erally comes . at some time cr
another with almost every one;
the little hoard that carries the
family over the emergency and
the added hope , and determina
tion with which husband aud
wife again begun the struggle
which has resulted in their own
ine their own home and in hav
ing enough laid by to keep the
wolf from the door if he should
come prowling about it in the
future; what more could be said?
Money a micfcie makes a
muckle" is an old Scotch proverb
that any person who starts a
savings account will do well to
keep in mind. It does not need
any great sacrifice to save
money, only the looking after
the pennies, tickles and dimes
that we . practically waste by
spending them when we have no
need of doing so. It is iust
such persons as these that The
Gazette designs to help in the
way of saving. The Gazette be
lieves ' every man, woman 'and
chUd can save something and
would be the more happy and
contented with a sayings bank
account. So much does The Ga
zette believe this that it is -ready
to give away $300 to the first
250 persons who will take, ad
vantage of its offer. All you
have to do to get in, on this, if
you have not already a savings
bank account, is to come to Toe
Gazette, office and, pay $1.50
Liprayear s subscnption in ad-
vance ana get one oi mc nana
some little pocket banks, which
is given away free along with
an order which will add twenty-
five cents to' the first deposit of
one dollar or more. That is
The Gazette will give each per
son who starts a savings account
of one dollar or more 25 cents
to help him or her alon?. This
bonus, like the little pocket
bank, is absolutely free. The
Gazette does not handle your
money; the savings bank does
that and you control it, as you
keep possession of your own
bank book and make your .de
posits as often as you wish or
as tyou fill the pocket bank,
which is the handiest, way pos
sible for . saving small change.
Out-of-town readers can have
the same opportunity by sending
in ten cents additional to cover
cost of package and postage and
the bank and the order for the
25 cents will be mailed to them
and they can either call at the
bank to make their deposit or
transact the business by mail as
thousands of people are doing
every day.
