A thrifty man is usually the gen- J
erous man. He who spends all
he earns can help no one.
. )
IT is by looking after the little things, so
that nothing is lost, that men learn to
be careful. Th* habit of making the
best of apparent trifles, of knowing how to
turn everything into some economic use, ot
being willing to do so by frugality and care
—all these things are elements of education
that carry thrift with them.
THRIFT means using your strength to
protect your weakness, your health to take
care of your sickness, your fortune to pro-
tect your misfortune.
THRIFT means you are not ashamed
of your past, and that you iire unHjraic'.ot
the future. Without a BANK AC( OlJNl
no one is really thrifty.

The Expanding Dollar
THE dollar you earn today will buy only about one-
halt' of what it would 5 years ago. Today yon have
to spend nearly two dollars to get things that old1 dollar
would buy 5 y^ars ago.
But the dollar has shrunk about as far as it can.
Authorities assert that the day of declining prices ia at
hand.
This means that those who are prudent enough to
economize and add to their bank surplus today, will get
more for their money than those who spend while prices
are high.
This bank invites the accounts of those who reason
along this line. Here they will find •* bank particularly
fitted to their needs.
