If Saving Were All
i
If just the putting away of money
in a saving bank were the only object
of saving, it woud be of little benefit.
The depositor would be simply a
miser.
Money is meant to be used, wisely
and with regard to real needs and
wants. Wise investments can be made
only with ready money and a savings
account furnishes ready money.
We stand ready and eager at all
times to advise our depositors of good
investments—places for the money
they have saved. Open your account
here today. We pay 5 per cent In
terest on savings. ,
