Lazy Dollars
Dollars merely tafe are not performing
their natural function They are not
working They are not doing the owner
or the world any good
Moreover most hiding places thought to
be safe are decidedly unsafe Not only
thieves but fire or other unforeseen
happenings may rob you of your wealth
Saving Is Using
Dollars saved are safer I And they are
constantly working to earn more for you
They are constantly working for the
good of the whole community
Consider this We pay you for say-
ing And while you are saving
your money is never out of reach
It is always ready for you and
easy to get when you need it
Start with vs today One
dollar will do it
