What is better than a bank
account. Can you think of any-
thing that would be worth more
to a young man just starting out
in life than a bank accouni? It
gives him a feeling of confidence
and security; It gives him a
prestige and standing with his
friends and neighbors, and
makes him feel like a MAN.
Still, there is something worth
more to the young man than a
bank account. You know of
some young man who hut a tew
years ago inherited a bank ac-
count, he hasn't it now. Per-
haps you know c-f a young man
who had a thorough, practical
business training, without the
bank account but today he has
the bank account, and through
successful experience has in
creased his fund of practical
business training. A hank ac-
count with out the knowledge of
ho a to transact business success
fully soon vanishes. Not so
with rhe business training, it
remains with one thrtugh life,
it enables him to accumulate his
own hank accouni and retain it,
and continually add to it; so
the thing that is better than a
bank account for the young man
starting in o life is a practical
education that will enable him
to earn the hank account.
A practical business education
is a life insurance policy upon
which you have to pay hut one
premium, and you don't have to
die to get the benefit of it,
It will be a pleasure to us to
