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 prudent 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.
