In everybody's life the pro-
verbial "rainy day" is pretty
sure to come, sooner or later.
Fortunate indeed is the
person who, when it arrives,
is prepared for it.
The way for persons of
moderate means to guard
against the needs of the
rainy day." is to inaugrrate
now systematic plan of
saving. Most persons who
are improvldent do not mean
to be SO. They either do not
understand the Importance
of small economies or they
have neglected to save
because they have never tried
a practical system.
Building up a Savings
Account in q bank is the
greatest incentive to systems
attic saving.
And when you save a little
as you go, you are ever pre-
pairing for the demands of
that future "rainy day.
