HAVE YOU SAVED AND LAID AWAY IN THE BANK A ‘RE SERVE” FUND FOR THE RAINY DAY? A few days ago, in this community, one man asked another, “How he was” and he said, “not much, 1 am worrying over my bank account,” saying further, “1 always try to keep at least as much as a thousand dollars to my credit on my account in The First National and it has gotten below that sum, and it BOTHERS ME. I’ve got to increase it s^ome way.” The bank man, hearing of the incident, remarked “That he wished all fhe,<?nstom ers would ‘worry’ a little when their bank accounts went !ow and \vould Teelas that man did, nam«iv, that he mtist build up and keep a reserve.”’ !> The “reserve funds” deposited by the people of a community in their banks is the banking wealth oi a community. If these “reserves” are drawn out and spent too freely or invested injudiciously, the banking power of a community is reduced to just that extent. Watch your “reserve” fund and BUILD IT UP. FIRST NATIONAL BANK SHELBY, N. C. Capital and Surplus Half Million Dollars. HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU WISHED FOR MONEY** Not just for the sake of possession, but to purchase some heart-desired article, frequently something that appeared to be an absolute necessity. And yet you didn’t have money oq hand to make the purchase. YOU RESOLVED then, .that you would save some money and not find yourself in this predicament again. But have you held to your resolution? Have you gotten “weak-kneed” on the saving preposition? If you have, stimu late your determination and begin again to save. The old adage, “It Is Not What A Man Makes, But What He Saves, that Counts” is still applicable in this up-to-date, six cylinder, high-powered age, and the “Man who saves is the cne that gets ahead.” We want to encourage SAVING. Come in and ask about our SAVING PLAN. UNION TRUST COMPANY - SHELBY - - LATTIMORE - LAWNDALE - FALLSTON - “IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH”
