Phillips County herald., 1921-12-16

Money saved and deposited in bank is
wealth that works. Wealth that works is
capital. Unlike brain and muscle it does
not wear out or deteriorate. 1t grows and
improves.
The only gain from labor is what is
saved Labor, therefore, makes wealth. and
when wealth works it is capital
Capital at work pays wages which,
when saved, creates more capital Labor is
the producer when labor saves.
Savings bring independence.
