HOW DOLLAR WORKS FOR YOU
Benjamin FrankIin's Fund of $1,000
Grew to $431 1888 in One Hun
dSed Years.

How the dollar invested works for
the individual himself has been best
Illustrated by that first great Ameri-
can teacher of thrift, Benjamin
Franklin. In 1871, he bequeathed
f1,00G (S5,000) to the common
wealth of Massachusetts and to the
city of Boston as a mark of his appre-
citation for having appointed him as
agent in England at the handsome
salary of $4,000 ($1O,OO0) and to
make his bequest really valuable with
his great foresight. Franklin provided
in his will that this f1.000 should be
put out at 5 per cent interest for one
hundred years; that at the end of
that time 31-131 of the fund accumu-
lated should again be put out at in
terest for another hundred years and
then the fund be divided one-fourth to
Boston and three-fourths to the state.
Let us show how well that f1000
of Franklin's has worked. At the end
of the first hundred years it had
grown to $431 .3S3.62. 1t was then d.
vided in accordance with the will !;
$780, 0048 was set aside for public
work" and $102.0S3.14 was started on
its course of earning interest for an
other hundred years. That was in
1891. January l, 1918, this sum had
grown to $267,S05.15 and at this rate
of increase the fund should amount
to at least six million dollars when
may be considerable more.-Worlds
