The practice of thrift benefits the individ-
ual, the community and the nation. It forms
the basis of our country's tremendous finan-
cial power.
It is therefore most, fitting- that a day be set
aside each year to encourage the establishment
of permanent savings accounts by those who
have not started systematic saving', and to re-
mind those who already have accounts, of the
wonderful results which regular depositing- of
even small amounts will accomplish.
Ever since its establishment. The National
Bank of Commerce has actively encouraged
the habit of thrift among the people of this
community by welcoming savings deposits in
any amount from one dollar up and extending
uniformly courteous, helpful service to each
depositor wthout regard to the size of his ac-
count.
On this day when the habit of thrift is re-
ceiving national endorsment, we cordially in-
vite you to open a savings account with us or
make a substantial addition to your present
account.
We pay 4 per cent compound interest on sav-
ings.

The action of limestone phosphate

is wonderful. It cleans out all the

acidity and gives one a splendid ap-
