THE HOUSEHOLD
ACCOUNT

We all of us hear a great deal
about the increase in the cost
of living. There's a great deal
to it. 1t does not cost more to
live today than it formerly did.
But a good deal of what is
known as the increased cost of
living is due to the increased
carelessness in spending. Gov
ernment statistics show that of
the money we spend for what
we call living expenses only IA
per cent is expended for neces-
sites. There's a big leak in
the household purse. But turn
that purse into a Household
Bank Account at the Bank of
Cave City and you will stop
that leak. 1t will 90 a long
