Without exception the officers and

no doubt traceable indirectly, If not

DULUTH SAVINGS BANK
FOR LABORERS' DEPOSITS

A frequent topic much dwelt upon
is the financial progress Of our men,
bers. Do you own a home, or have
you provided for those dependent up
on you that they will be free from
want and suffering after you are UNI
able to earn living for them. This
from time to time has been subject
of many messages to the wage Garner.
In this review Of the institutions
friendly to our members, this subject
is of necessity and of much import
ance. A penny saved with regularity
has often proved beginning Of vast
independent fortunes. A start In this
direction brings out the question Of
some reliable and friendly institution
with which to entrust this saving. 1t
is the purpose here to direct our men,
bers to the Duluth Savings bank.
This institution is known to be most
friendly to our cause. That person
who first claims thrift and a wise adj
ministration Of his financial affairs Is
a citizen who contributes to the pro-,
gress Of his community. It Is to such
wage earners that we especially refer
to the Duluth Savings bank. How
proud is the man who owns a bank
book, or the man who has little nest
egg laid aside-and watches it grow?
The Duluth Savings bank has the
means Of starting our members in this
direction. BY depositing 81 you, re-,
ceive one of their neat little savings
banks where you may place your.
