Surprising how quickly these hundred
pennies turn into a dollar, when one culti-

Poor Richard said that a penny saved is

There is another truism which says: "a
penny not spent is two pennies gained"
Then there's another saying which reads:
Take care of the pennies and the dollars
will take care OF themselves"
It's real astonishing what a penny
will do when Joined with other pennies.
A snowflake Is nothing by itself. Comes

But let all these little snowiakes get
together and come down continuously, what

havoc with the mails and cause general

Now take a penny, that modest little
circle of copper. Most people look upon
It as a convenient coin for newspapers and
car fare, but just let the pennies get to-

into a little safe. There are scores Of holi-
days in American homes that are made hap

the savings laid up for these gala days in
little savings banks of all decriptions. In
fact, Abraham Lincoln once remarked
THAT the habit of saving was the great
rock Of a country's prosperity"
Now the Brandeis and Sons bank has a
little Home Safe, that helps you save your
odd coins It goes even further than that
It enables your savings to draw large in
terest. Let US explain this.
There has just been instituted in the
Boston Store, a bank under the name Of
J. L. Brandeis q Sons, Bankers You will
ind It on the balcony, overlooking the
main floor. You can start a bank account
at this bank as low as s1.O0. Then you are
furnished with a private home as safe.
This is nothing more than a conveniently
constructed strong gun metal box. 1t has
a locked door at the bottom and at the top
is a slot for money, with patent device In
side to keep any OF the coins from slipping
out. This safe has but one purpose-to
help you save the small sums that are often
30 needlessly spent, Just because they
don't at the time seem to amount to so
very much. But the minute you begin to
save you will see how quickly pennies run
into dimes and dimes into dollars. Through
this little slot IN the top, you can deposit
coins. from a penny to a dollar. And bear
in mind that small coins ccumulate rap
idly. Ten cents a day makes $500 a month.
This little safe is given to each de-
positor latter the first deposit OF 81 has
been made), so locked that 1t cannot be
taken out. The bank holds the key. And
only the cashier OF the banking depart
ment or a teller can open 1t. You are
expected to take the safe home and begin
systematically to save. Put any Of the
small coins that you have no immediate
use for In the safe and you will be sur
prlsed how many little things you will dc
without In order to hear the musical Jingle
Of the coins that you in this
gun metal bank. AS its holdings get larger
its music grows louder and more pleasing
At stated intervals. say thirty or sixty
days. you bring this little safe to the bank
ing department. II will be unlocked and
its contents carefully counted. They will
then be entered up to your account In a
pass book. which will have been previously
given 10 you. and also on the ledger.
Your money now begins to earn interest
and at the rate Of 4 per cent. Then, too
you can withdraw your savings at any
time-no notice is necessary. In fact. yoV
can draw out your money at any time

is that you will drop in the little HON
