This great Amer-
ican statesman, who
stood with George
Washington in the
Revolutionary war, was
the son of a poor Boston soapmaker. He started in
the printing business for himself in early manhood,
worked hard, lived frugally and saved his money. He
had plenty to live on when old age came.
Take your cue from Franklin. Join the
legion of people whose savings are growing in our
bank. Enjoy the satisfaction of watching the pennies
become dollars and the dollars hundreds.
See your fortress rise against the possible
attacks of sickness or misfortune. Lay the foundation
with a part of this week’s earnings.
