Looking Forward

What does the future look like to
you? 1t depends of course, on how
secure it is, how free from worry.
The man who has the best hold on
the future and least need to worry, is
, the man with the bank account, for,
after all, financial worries are pretty
black ones.
A great many more people than
had ever before thought beyond the
day are now looking into the future
with the assurance that a steadily
| growing bank account brings. This
I change in viewpoint may be said to
be the direct result of the war. The
war taught. them how to save, the
meaning of saving, the actual value
of thrift.
During the Liberty Loan drives the
people were asked to lend money to
the Government. Many did not
have the ready cash, but they bou-
ght bonds anyway, saving money to
pay for them week by week. The
money thus saved, bit by bit, now
amounts to an assured nest egg
which, the chances are, they would
never have acquired under other con
ditions.
But that isn't all. We used to De
called the most profiigate people on
earth. Perhaps we were, for it was
come easy and go the same way for
most of us. Then war came, and we
found we could not only do without
great many things we had consid-
cred necessities, but save money as
we'll
Are you saving money regularly so
that you will be prepared for what
ever the future may bring? Look
ahead and be ready, either for in
creased prosperity with the oppor-
tunity for a splendid investment OF
the money you have saved. or for
the rainy day that any of us may
have to face.
