That’s not so. Many people with incomes of
thirty, forty or fifty dollars a week have
checking accounts at this bank. In fact, fam

This Wartime Mother’s Day, May 9 , will
find many homes in which “son” is absent.
Wherever he is he will remember the day
in some fashion—material or otherwise. Many
of these mothers are now in the fight them
selves, taken war time jobs at home in defense
plants . . . riveting . . . welding . . . selling . . .
teaching . . . Red Cross work . . . farming . . .
anything that will bring Victory quicker and
the boys home.
Let us fathers, daughters, young sons,
who are left in the home remember mother
this Mother’s Day with unusual thoughtful
ness. She may not wear her heart on her sleeve,
but in secret she will gloat over whatever little
remembrance may be given because of the
affection and regard that motivated the gift.
At Brown-McDonald’s you will find a
great many practical and thrift-priced
things for person and home, from a pair
of rayon stockings to a
warm blanket that will
meet the elasticity of any
budget. Why not choose
something now?
