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.

We wish you would then you would
know what we really mean when we
say "guaranteed rust proof."
It is not enough (or a corset

wear equally as well as it

prove its virtue through
shaping comfortably, wear

out breaking or rusting in
these "piping hot" days '
