These sisters were the only intimate
friends and companions Bernice had,
their home the one house to which
she was a constant visitor. With all
her peculiarities and faults she pos
sessed a strong sense of kin. In her
rise to fairer fortune, if not greater
happiness, her old home had never
lost it's hold upon her, nor had she
weakened in a sort of cross-grained,
patronizing loyalty to her two sisters.
This may have been accounted for by
the fact that they were exceedingly
amiable and affectionate, proud to re-
gard Bernice as the flower of the fam
lily, whose dizzy translation to unex-
pected heights they had watched with
unenvious admiration.

Peter Krause mustered up courage to

Who Are The
Money Makers
/? ?

You will say the big rich men
whose homes are known to every
body.
Not so. Many large enterprises
are financed by the savings of clerks,
work people-the masses who deposit
part of their income in savings banks.
Little savings reach large aggre-
gates wonderfully fast. Little ex-
travagances multiply into large
losses.

Procrastination keeps many
men and women from having
Savings deposits.
To put off from one pay day
to another the simple process
of starting a bank account
usually results in a permanent
postponement.
No matter is more important

eide now. One dollar is enough
to begin with.
Visit this bank and investigate
our facilities for giving you
