MAKING AND SAvING.-Those who
make large fortunes at single strokes
are very few in number. The only
sure way to prosperity forthc great
majority is the saving of small sums.
Just as the daily spending of small
sums ruins the bank account, so the
daily savings of small sums makes
respectable accumulation, although
few seem to realize it. The prac-
tice of saving small sums induces
valuable habits of thrift and econo-
my among the people whose daily
earnings are small ard by develop
ing their business qualities, increase
their power of earning money.
Saving banks were instituted first
for the very lowest class of wage
earners. But it was soon found that
they were a benefit to all classes,
and since then their growth has
been marvellous. Savings banks
and building and loan associations
are precautionary the banks of the
people, and furnish the safe and
sure means by which thousands in
time secure homes of their own.
