DID YOU BUY A RESERVED
SEAT FOR END OF WORLD?

An Ohio man paid SIS for re-
served seat to watch the beginning
of the end of the world in Cleveland
He never even stopped to reason
that he should have bought a seat
some place from which he could have
watched the end of the world. The
police are looking for the celestial
promoters who sold him the ticket
Are you bnuying a reserved seat
for the end of the world? You are
ifvou are not earning more than you
spend-if you are not saving regu-
larly something ont of what you earn.
You are buying a gold brick in life
if You are living up to your IN
come. Just as surely as that Ohio
man was victimized.
The year 1920 is brand new film,
all rolled up and ready to start un-
winding. The first show began at
midnight Wednesday. You and your
father and your mother and your
brothers and your sisters and your
wife and your children are on the
Tilm. What are YOU going TO look
like and what will he the comments
of your friends as it unrolls?
There are a lot of clowns and a
lot of wise men in the show. Which
are you? If you spend all you make,
be sure you are a clown; if you save
something from what you earn as
the year unrolls day by day, you feel
sure you are playing the roll of a
wise man.
The government is continuing
through 1920 the sale of Thrift and
War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates They repre-
sent the easiest way and the best
way of saving. Resolve now to go
to any bank or postoffice every week
and buy some of these securities.
You will get a real "kick" every time
you do it, and you will get big
kick" when you figure up this time
next year how much you are ahead.
Anybody can spend money. It
takes wise person to save it. Are
YOU wise or foolish?
