Laddie, money is n good thing to
get. Some folks forget that money
costs anybody anything and they try
to get something for nothing-which
never happens. 1t costs sweat and
brains and-but You sit down at the
table there and write down rs many
things as you can think of that folks
pay for money, health. chum life with
children. the spirit of plny-and things
like that.

Laddic. money is Il good thing to
keep. Some folks forget that keep
ing money costs somebody something
all the time it is kept doing nothing.
Money doesn't get rusty by being kept,
even if some jokerS say it does. No,
money doesn't get rusty, but folks do
who get the habit of making it act
rusty. Their joints get rusty, their
friendships get rusty, their generous
feelings get rusty, and sometimes their

who will let them take II and spend II.
Sometimes they give II note which says
they will get back some other money by
II certain time and give 1t back TO the
man who lets them take his money and
spend II; and they pay him for the
use Of his money. That's business.
