SAVING LEADS TO
SUCCESS
He who acknowledges he h^s saved nothing,
confesses to both mental and business weak-
ness .
I be qualities found in the man who saves'
are sure to lead him to success.
Success comes hugely from tlm ooidldeuoe we
have ill our judgement. Having money gives
us confidence. If we have saved no money,
we admit lack of judgement ami therefore cun
have no confidence in ourselves.
If you wish to save, you can l»y depositing
♦ 1.00 or more with this bank.
