A Service message
A Christinas Suggestion
Do your children think that money grows
on a tree, that Dad just picks it off when
they ask for "movie" or "soda" money?
Most of US worked for our spending money,
but time and conditions havo changed some
what. Still we must teach son or daughter,
the value of thrift.
How about a Savings Account or a Christ
mas present? A Dollar will start the ac
count and the Pass Book will serve as a
starting point for those lessons.
