LEFT $4,000
IN Ills WILL
But City of Philadelphia
Actually Received Fifty
Times That Amount.

When BENJAMIN Franklin died a hun
dred years ago he left two thousand
dollars to the city Of Philadelphia. but
he specified that It was to be held at
compound interest for a hundred years.
The other day the City Of Brotherly
Love came into its property. but the
fund was no longer $1,000 but over $780,
10000. Thus does money increase at
compound interest.
The compound interest feature Of the
ten-year Endowment Thrift Club
accounts Of the Continental Trust Com
pany is one Of its fine points. When
your child is ten years older. this big
bank turns over not only the several
hundred dollars which the merchants
have given you, but many othor dollars
which represent the compound 2 per
cent interest added by the bank.-Adver-
tisement.
