TALKS ON THRIFT

the amount realized on the substan-

have minimum for deposit, although
it is usually a low ones cents, 25
cents. so cents or a dollar, rs the case
may be. In different States there is a
different maximum for savings de.
posits. ranging from $1,000 to $4,000
or $4,000. Ordinarily money can be
withdrawn without any notice what
ever. In times or panic or possible
panic, however, a 80 or 6O-day rule
may be enforced
3. Regular Income There are few,
if any. other investments where it is
possible to put in small, odd amounts
at any time and have your money
begin TO earn interest promptly, as il
does in a savings account. Savings
bank interest is something you can
depend upon.
4. Compound Interest. The inves-
tor in bonds or stocks must collect
his interest or dividends, and il he
does not use the money, must attend
personally to investing it. Interest
allowed by tie bank at the end of d
given period. if not withdrawn, i.
placed to the depositor's credit, ant
itself draws interest from that time
on, thus automatically becoming ;
part of the deposit That means
constant increase in the amount at in
terest, and in the interest payments.

taxation by State or local authori
