SAVING ON A SYSTEM,
Figures Showing How a Handsome
Competency May be Accumu-
lated Very Easily.

A young man who, would have a
competency at the end OF ten years
must make sacrifices for The first two
or three years. Say that YOU, Tor in
stance, are earning $50 week. AT
the present. time. You may be spend
ing nearby all ofctl1is, as thousands of
others are doing. Now during the first
year, you must save $1,000 Why y
you exclaim, ''if / should save $1,000
a year that would make $4,000 at
tiie enid of ten years, without counting
the interest You're off In your figur-
ing.",lif hEa t.a2F f2fn .slt
But wait We are supposing NOW
that you are having your share Of
prosperity and that ait different times
Within tn next few years you will
have DOCTORS bills TO pay, and may
even be with45ut employment at times.
These things must be taken into con-
sideration If you world save $4,000
in ten years - 's2n 2H'i'i7 2"j -
SO tine first year you save $1,000.
This leaves you gittre less than 81
q week upon which TO live during
that time Perhaps you will have to
move out OF your present home and
rent one that IS cheaper. For a time
Contract fewer NSilorirrg bills, and in
all prdbablity you will get your wife
TO aid you In ecohoniiziiig;; but yol'
must save $1,000 diirng that year and
you viii find that you can do it.
In the second year your load will
become lighter, and then you will see
Hsliy nj watts necessary for you to save
$1,000 during che first year. The $1,000
you can easily place. out at per cent
interest, and at the end of the second
year 1t will have earned ycai $50 So
during this second year you have ito
save Only $3.50 In other words, YOU
have one dollar a week more TO spend
ontlte comforts df Hfe during the sec
md year Than the first. Tn this way
your load continues TO get lighter and
lighter. You begin your third year
with $4,000 out at interest, and during
tills year you need only save 5000.
which, feavesu ,rcir$s Ia week moro to
spend than during THE first year and
sesit goes until at the end of the tif.n
year You are saving only seven hrn-
dred and fifty dollars or jess than one
hall OF your $500 salary. Each year
you havei more to spend. AT the enc
OF your eighth year you are savi.-o
just $3.50 al week, while you nave
seventeen dollars and fifty cents 10
spend. alana Oh geibT,q- -"
Atthe end OF YOUR tenth year YOU
cave $4,000, which is earning you
$500 a year, and which may even
bring you 5000 or $70O year if YOU
lrwest 1t we'll II you were only 30
years of age when you began saving
you are still too young to retire on
$50 niensii. nbrh' now You 9eaarn9 spend
all that you earn, and at the end OF
another ten years, II you do not
gather the 'ihorrey'', which your $40.
900 is making for volt you will be
worth a little 'oSer 1000, which al
6 per Cent will bring you Ss5 a
month for tine rest OF your hfe. nt
A modification of the above
scheme can be made TO work to the
proflt OF any wage Garner, no mat
ter what hIsaweekly earnings may be,
granting of course. that, they iare
ssrlffaclenit to live upon comfortably.
Fer INSTANCE, it the anan iAvllo earns
sl5oa week could save 81 a week
Tor fotMteers years, he would have
acquired a little fortune OF $1,000.
