MAKE GOOD EARLY, TIP TO BOY
Work, Save and Invest in w. S. S., but
Don't Be Stingy, Wisconsin
Advice to Youth.

"The boy of today is the citizen Of
tomorrow" That expression has been
used so often that it almost loses it's
proper effect.
! But the children of today are begin
ming to realize that the boy of today is
a real factor in city and country life,
and that he must begin to make good"
early, so that when he does come to
manhood he will occupy real place
in his community.
The good office boy will become a
good business man; the boy who can
tinker over his bike or help fix up his
dads automobile will likely become
a good mechanic-and the boy who
saves his pennies, nickels and dimes
and finally converts them into Thrift
and War Savings stamps is the boy
who in later years will shave money
in the bank to start into the business
world, and eventually to "back" his
own business. And all because as a
small boy he learned how to save his
money, though, it should be hoped,
without the necessity Of being stingy.
The stingy boy is as much disliked by
the other "kids' as is the man who
'has his first-earned nicked planted in
the back yard"
Every boy should learn his duty to
his parents as one of the proper things
of life. He can establish himself on
a regular business basis with his moth
er and his friends If he will divide his
earnings into three equal parts: One
for mother; one for Thrift stamps, and
one for his own spending money. This
should be a fixed rule, whether his
earnings be three cents, thirty cents or
thirty dollars. When his friends know
that Bobby Jones has just so much to
spend and no more, they are very like
~ to copy his methods, with the result
that very soon the "whole gang" will
be doing just what Bobby Jones does.

BUY w. S. S. NOW, TO BUY HOME
LATER.

Probably there is no one in the state
Of Wisconsin who has not felt the
pressure of the need Of a home. In
many cases the pressure this spring
has been so decided that many per-
sons have found it difficult to find a
place to live in, and, because there
was no place to rent available, have
paid a small amount down and pur-
chased a home on the inStallment
plan.
In many cases, too, this first pay.
ment has been one difficult to make.
Because the man has slid along Easy
street for so long on a small salary
and no savings that when the time
came to make sacrifice ne just
"wasn't there"
The advent of Thrift and War Saw
ings stamps has made the habit Of
saving an easy one to form. These
War Savings stamps mature in five
years and the man who this spring
was unable to purchase home can in
five years make a very substantial
first payment" if he has invested his
small savings in Thrift and War Saw
ings stamps, the latter of which draw
a good interest.
Buy War savings stamps now, and
buy home later! It's good slogan.
How about it?
