r THE $500 OFFER
Fine Opportunity Open to the
Readers Of The Tupelo
Journal.

This is to tell about the $500 free
offer which has been announced in
the Tupelo Journal.
To put it in one sentence, The Tu-
pelo Journal intends to give away
pocket aavines banks worth SO cents
each, and 500 checks for SO cents, n
with each banl.
These banks and checks will be
,iyen absolutely free to those who ask
for them at The Turelo Journal Office.
There are no strings to the offer.
One bank and one check, drawn on a
we'll known and reliable Tupelo bank,
will be given to each person applying.
The applicant need not subscribe to
the paper. There is no gussine con-
test involved and no clipping Of cou-
pons.
The Tupelo Journal has simply
undertaken as shown in the preliminary
articles and advertisements, to encour-
age the habit 4 saving among its read
ers. To this end it purposes to help
500 of them to start savings bank ac-
counts. 1t will help these persons to
begin by giving each a pocket bank
and check for so cents as a starter.
But why, the astute reader will ask
is The Tupelo Journal doing all this,
and how can it afford to make the 500
distribution?
Frankly, The Tupelo Journal adver-
tises itself, and that is good business.
Secondly. it will help 500 persons to
start savings accounts, and thereby it
hopes, will make 500 friends who,
throughout their lives, will be glad
that they were induced to begin saving,
and will have a friendly feeling to-
ward the paper that helped them. And
third, the paper will stimulate habits
of thrift which will make for prosperity
in the community, and prosperity in
the community means better business
for every enterprise, including The Tu-
pclo Journal.
So you sec, there are business rea-
sons back of this offer. But there are
business reasons far more powerful
why you should take advantage Of it.
Get one Of the pocket banks-it's free
and one of the so cent checks that's
free, too-and begin the savings ac-
count which will mean peace of mind
in later days.
The distribution will begin Saturday
October /, and will continue until all
are gone.
They are for the first 500 persons
who call: but in order that they may
get into the hands of earnest folks
children under 16 who apply must be
accompanied by an adult relative.
/. You will not be asked to subscribe
to the paper or TO do anything else ex-
cept promise to use the so cent check
as a starter for a savings account.
Each check will be good for So cents
but it cannot be spent for candy or
neckties; it will be good as gold,
though, as a deposit in one of Tupelo's
we'll known and reliable banking
institutions for a savings account.
In other words, The Tupelo Journal
helps you start a savings account, and
gives you a pocket tank in which you
can put odd amounts to be added to
your deposit from time to time.
The savings habit is readily acquir-
ed, and there is none better. No mat
ter what a mans income is, he should
put aside some part Of it regularly for
a rainy day." No one need be asham-
ed to save; rather should one be
ashamedsnot to save.
Start now. You will never get a
better opportunity, than by taking adj
VANTAGE Of The Tupelo Journals offer.
