DUMBER 30 VWU1 5 w, L""-".""J v I A REAL MAN It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have an empty stomach and an empty pocket book. If your bluff is called, then what? The prtident man who has saved a little, who has a reserve at the bank to tide him over a month or two; isn't so afraid of sickness, nor such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimulant to real manhood. The larger the account the firmer the footing., It breeds self-confidence, is proof of efficiency and is an ever-present resource in time of need. It's not what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus at the bank, it's what he saves. 1 s ji Webster County Bank ji Red Cloud, Nebraska WW f Summer Necessities Refrigerators We have several designs and sizes that willl please Built to meet all requirements.
