of stock at one time being up about ~
polnts. Studcbnker also moved up. Large
orders from beligerent European nations

Savings

The accumulation of saw
ings is one of the most
difficult tasks for the average
person.
To keep them safe and yet
make them earn is a serious
problem.
To keep them actively
producing and yet at a min
imum risk il is essential that
they should be protected by
actual value in established
successes,
The security in which they
are invested should be of con-
stantly increasing worth.
Our offerings meet these
requirements. T hey are
proven and established sue
cesses of growing value. and
increasing earning power.
