ONE SEED.
If a farmer desired to raise a crop of corn
and planted but one seed—what would you
think of him? Speaking mildly you would
think he was foolish—wouldn’t you?
If a man desires to acquire a fortune and
deposited $1 and never added to it—what
would you think about him?
Yet lots and lots of people begin an account
and never follow it up.
Start your account here with $1. That is
well. Add to it each week. That is better.
Do not draw it out for ten years. That is best.
Tickle your .Bank Account with Pennies and
it will laugh with dollars.
