SUPPOSE THAT ROCKEFELLER
Had merely hidden in a safety vault each dollar that
he made, instead of re-investing it what would have been
his fortune as compared with his fortune today? Or suppose
that he had spent each dollar as in came to hand? Rocke
feller's fortune was builded on re-investments. As soon as
he got a dollar he put it to work for him. That is the "secret"
of his immense wealth. Idle dollars benefit no one. Save a
few dollars out of each week or monthly wage and put them
to work for you. We find the jobs for your dollars and turn
the wage they earn over to you. No idle time for your dollars
if deposited with us they work night and day for you. We
pay FOUR PER CENT INTEREST. A savings account is
a safeguard against want a gaurantee of future comfort.
Let us explain our system to you.

RESULT OF ONE. MAN'S; EFFORT
E. R. Pace, Only Trades Unionist in
North Carolina Legislature,
Makes Good. '
The incidents occurring in the. lives
of active trades unionists - contain
both pathos and heroism. E.'. R.. Pace,
a machinist, residing at Raleigh, N.
C, was elected to the lower house of
the legislature last fall. He stood
alone the only and first unionist
member of that body. But he had
initiative, courage and persistence.
He introduced several bills and suc
ceeded in getting three of them en
acted into law.
One law allows the transportation
companies to issue free transportation
to widows or minor children of pen
sioned, furloughed, superannuated,
disabled or diseased employes.
Another relating to factory owners
providing medical and surgical ap
pliances in factories. It is provided
that all factories in the state shall be
equipped with certain medical acces
sories as first aid to injured or ill
employes.
Aiso a law was enacted providing
for the ten-hour day (maximum) in
cill iactories after January 1, 1912.

their number of members in the
next session.
