MAKE HAY WHILE the SUN SHINES
And Deposit the Proceeds Of the Hay
in the Fidelity Savings Bank"
PROMPT, SiFE AND REL'ABLE.U

Mechanics and workingmen you have
passed through long and drearY winter.
Many Of you have been out Of employment
for months. You have felt the need of a
dollar time and again, and You who have
had foresight to provide for rainy day
have felt the advantages of having an open
account in the SdriHqs Bank, when rent
day came OF the lsrder needed replenish-
ing. And now that work is opening up
that buildings are being commenced an OPP
portunity will be given you to make up
what you have drawn on your reserves
don't forget or neglect to make hay while
the sun shines. Five Dollars a week de-
posted during the Spring and Summer
in the state Savings" will furnish you
the best friend you require in the hour of
eed-will enable you To get through the
dreary months of winter-w hen work can
not be obtained-with comfort-while Il .
thriftless are compelled 70 live from hand
to mouth.
There is one fact We desire 10 impress
on your attention-and that is that no
man or woman had ever cause for regret
because they commenced the practice Of
depositing their surplus earnings IN a reli-
able Savings institution, while tn islands,
even in our own city, now independent,
owe their positions to the incentive given
by the first dollar thus laid aside for future
use. A man who has bank account, and
a balance on the right side of the ledger,
can avail Himself Of a thousand bargains
and opportunities which the moneyless
man knows nothing at all about. So il
has been-so it will continue to be.
But 1t is equally important that a reli-
able institution should be selected an your
depository, and too much care cannot be
exercised in making such selection. To
every city reader Of the ADVOCATE who
proposes following our advice, and there
are no doubt many strangers among them,
we say call on the State Savings, located
Nos. 80 and 81 La Sale St, the first pay
day; leave ailyou canspare, keep on adding,
and you can rest assure you have cunfided
the custody of your funds to one Of the
safest and most reliable monetary institu.
