/ It is as hard to make young people

so easy TO be young and reckless.
But habits Of thrift have to be

STEEL MASTER BEGAN
TO SAVE WHEN YOUNG
Recognized That Success Lay In Sound
inssstnent-Safest Security in
World Is Now Offered By
Government

Andrew Carnegie died not hong ago.
leaving behind him 100000. He
had given away about $500 900 600 in
an effort TO avoid the reproach Of
dying rich.
II Is probable that the high cost Of
living gave the steel master little
worry during the latter half of his
life, but 1t is certain that in his bow
hood the prices of the necessaries Of
life we're vital factors And Andrew
Carnegie in his early years met the
cost Of living with the same remedy
which Americas leaders, headed by
President Wilson, are now putting
forth as the bisic principle Of the
SIGHT to withstand the menace that
turks in the soaring prices of today
Tat remedy is thrift-the practice Of
saving. the elimination of waste and
sound investment
In the days when Andrew Carnegie.
IA years old. earned $120 a week as
a bobbin boy in an Allegheny City
cotton mill, and later when he earned
s1125 month as a telegraph mes
senger boy, the cost of living meant
much to him He had little margin
for saving. But he did save There
were few opportunities for the small
saver to make safe investments Sc
cur.ties were not issued in small de
nominations. There were no Thrift
Stamps or War Savings Stamps,
backed by the government into which
the meager proceeds Of the Scotch
boys thrift could be converted
But Andrew Carnegie at the age Of
40 determined upon safe investment
The soundest securities that offered
we're 10 shares Of stock in an express
company worth $500 Carnegie had to
borrow part OF the money he paid.
But he was convinced that savings ly-
!rg idle were not performing their
proper function.
The American man or woman, boy
or girl Of today does not have to Dor
row TO add to the savings fund in or
der to find safe investment. The gov
sr2nsnt makes sound security in the
'orrn OF Savings Stamps, Trtasury
Savings Certificates. and war bonds
available to every saver who will be-
gin TO practice thrift by the regular in
eestment of sums as small as %
cents
Every American today has a better
opportunity for success than lay be-
fore Andrew Carnegie when he faced
