you plant in the ground is some times good and some
times poor nothing is certain.
One crop, though, never fails" and that is money in
the bank. Every single dollar is productive - the more
you plant the more it grows - it needs no cultivation, and
is not affected by drouth of frost it grows the year round
Isn'rfthat a good crop to raise money in the bank?
We pay 5 on the money you deposit and com
pound it annually.
