COURT RECORDS
Here Are a Few Court Records,
Which Show:

THAT of every 100 men who die
| three leave an estate of $4,000 o.

eighteen are IN comfortable eircunl

work for living; and thirty-five are
in absolute want, dependent upon
charity"
Experience says that 'those who
do not save on SIS per month will
never save when they earn 500 or
more per month. Savings is a habit
which if formed will bring comfort
land contentment into a home.
THAT 85 per cent of all people earn
less than $4,000 a year That if the
putting aside of money is delayed un-
til that point in earnings is reached.
IS per cent of the people will face an
old age want or will die with the
knowledge that their dependents will

Cor an excuse that their income is so
mall that saving is impossible Old
age, sickness, loss of time, and death,

10 to people with larger Incomes
Saving is necessary"
The most important item in the
family budget is savings. This is the
item which above all others must not
be neglected. Old age, sickness, loss
# time, and many other demands will
be made upon savings during the life
time of the average individual and I'M
less proper provision has been made,
suffering and want will result. Char
ity is the only recourse to the de-
pendents of those who did not save,
when old age, sickness, accident or
death come.
"Buy your War Savings and Thrift
stamps on regular days of each
month" is the advice of those who
have already saved.
