THRIFT MAXIMS

 BY WASHINGTON

Among the trift naxirns or George Washington for which he was famous are the following:
 I am no more disposed to squander than to stint
 Economy makes happy homes and sound nations.
 It is not the lowest priced goods that are always the cheapest.
 I cannot enjoin too strongly upon you a due observance of economy and frugaIity.
 Keep an account book and enter therein every farthing of your re- ceipts and expenditures.
 Promote frugaity and industry by example, encouraging manufactures and avoid dissipation.
 Reason, too late perhaps, may con- vince you of the folly of misspend- ing time.
 There is no proverb in the whole catalogue of them more true than a penny saved is a penny got ..- Nothing but harmony, honesty, in- dustry, and frugality are necessary to make us a great and happy nation
