Benjamin Franklin's birthday,
January II, opens National Thrift
Week. During this week San Antonio
is launching a drive for increased
-briftiness and on each day of the
week a different phase of thrift is to
he brought to the attention of the pub
lie.
Monday will be Thrift Day-s day
dedicated to the very spirit Of thrift
itself may mean the greatest day OF
your entire life-the dsS which viii
mark a turning of your financial tide.
Bankers of this community are in
position to speak with great candor
and quiet earnestness on this vital
subject. Every bank is a barometer
of the people it serves and Of the rec
ords of grief and suffering of those
who come to them for aid. Andrew
Carnegie once said: Save 10 per
cent of your salary each week-if you
make SO. save q dollar: if you make
a hundred, save ten These are the
words of a wise man who practiced
what he preached and gained success
through knowledge plus thrift. Fol-
low, this advice, advise local bankers,
and put aside little each week. In
crease it when you can, but never fail
10 make a regular deposit. If you
were earning less, you would spend
less. Save and spend wisely. Earn
respect for yourself and a protected
feeling that only savings account
can give. Save and have-spend and
want. Start checking account. they
say, and transact your business sys-
tematically. Money earns money
keep saving.
BUDGET DAY.
Tuesday will be Budget Day. The
Goddess of Thrift reaches out TO you
through a budget. When once her
wise hands grasp your income, you
begin TO feel that independence which
is the birthright of every person. She
apportions your earnings so that ne
cessities are always yours. She con-
eiders your pleasure and provides for
your Injuries. Budgeting is wise. 1t
is the systematic control of your f.

nances that leads to success. Spend
ing as you earn and spending all you
have is unwise. Prepare a budget.
Feel secure and confident. Know that
you have apportioned your income TO
provide for your welfare.
INSURANCE DAY.
Wednesday will be Insurance Day.
What a heart-full of love and graft
tude surgcs forth on this. the fourth
day OF Thrift Week-the day when
men think seriously of insurance. The
mothers and the children, the depend
ents of the city find no adequate
words for thanking those whose wise
generosity will act as constant, pro-
tective guardianship. For, whatever
the kind of insurance, its strong arms
are thrown about us. Fire may not
take our roof from over our head
without building another to take its
place the bread-winner of the family,
If taken suddenly from us, will live,
in spirit, his foresight keeping us
from dire want and inexpressible en-
barrassment. For wives and mothers
will be cared for. children educated,
and life flow steadily on. in its ma
terial necessities, despite the shock of
great grief. Insurance is the great
mother, the humanitarian friend in
times of accident, death. fire, the rage
of the Observation-Disclosures untoward
betides. And, as is the way of moth
erhood, it is first to be at your side
in hours Of extremity. The thought
of Insurance Day is to act. almost in
spirationally. NOW, that each man
may sit in the quiet OF his home, at
eventide conscious of having not only
performed his duty by those he loves,
but given expression To the most prac-
teal form of all THRIFT.
OWN YOUR OWN HOME.
Thursday will be Own Your Own
Home Day. Many who have planned
and built, financed temporarily, and
seen safely through TO completion, this
home which is to remain living sym

Of gratitude than of service. Homes

beneath their hospitable roofs. but by

HOME SECURITIES
GOOD INVESTMENTS

1t is better to put your savings
into investments in your home city,
says a well known thrift advocate
than it is to invest in schemes that
are proposed for distant places. The
home investment is where you can
watch it il occasion arises but when
you invest in far away places, you
are at the mercy of whoever is hand
ling your money. This of course, does
not apply to recognized investments
of merit such as good bonds and stocks
and reputable securities.

S. A. BANKS OFFER
COMPLETED PROTECTION

Where traditional bank formality
and cold. impersonal service are re-
placed by warm, helpful, human, per-
sonal attention and cooperation, new
accounts are acquired rapidly and saw
ing is encouraged by the banker. San
Antonios banks are an important
element in the peoples affairs and
provide complete facilities for the pro-
lection of depositors.

COMMUNITY SHOWS
EFFECT OF THRIFT

A community that has thrifty
and right living population always
goes ahead. 1t is reflected in neat
homes, clean streets, well built schools
and public buildings. churches and
civic centers. Likewise the commun-
ity where thrift it not generally prac-
ticed usually presents much the oppo-
site appearance. Thrift is a great
incentive to good citizenship. 1t is
the basis of civic pride.

CREDIT CONDITIONS
ARE BEST In YEARS

San Antonians are paying their bills
promptly, making the moral risk for
merchants safer, according to rep
resentative of the Retail Credit Mems
Association. The percentage of losses
through charge accountS-last year were
exceedingly low as compared with 9TH
er years.
Last year was one Of the best credit
years for San Antonio merchants since
the World War. according to the Re
tail Merchants Association representa-
tive.
In 1926 the credit condition should
be at its best, he said.

SAVINGS ACCOUNT,
NOT DAILY EARNINGS,
BRING REAL SUCCESS

No matter how large ones earnings.
success comes from saving alone. No
matter how big ones income, it is
only that portion that's put aside
which really counts.
You can promote your own prosper
ity by being prompt in getting a part
of your earnings into the bank each
pay day. 1t is so easy to mistake pros
perity for success; so dangerous to
accept a temporary increase in earn
ing power for permanent achievement.

stones of wonderful progress. The
architect who planned your home
helps TO make your town artistic; the
builder who watches its physical des-
tiny is indeed a friend at court, and
under his direction, carpenters. ma
sons, plasterers, plumbers, painters
and all the great army of artisans,
make something of nOthing-build Il
little castle from blueprint. And
finally, those financing organizations
which stand shoulder TO shoulder with
American thrift, making it possible TO
accomplish these dreams, deserve en-
thusiastic support and. in their own
way. give you a kindly pat on the
shoulder, as you hang up your hat in
the new home and say: well done"
Emerson says that no man begins to
live until he begins to live in a home
of his own. BY thrift these edifices
arc built. Each in its own way, is a
symbol of self-sacrifice and of saving.
Own your own home" is spiritual
phrase. 1t is good citizenship in the
making. 1t is the cradle of the men
and women of tomorrow. IL you do
mt own a home of your own, plan at
once in that direction. There is no
wiser plan. Destiny becomes sort
of Master-architect.
SAFE INVESTMENT DAY.
Friday will be safe investment day.
Brokers, real estate operators, bank
ers and the building and loan associa.

part not only in the progress and the
success of the individual, but in the

COURT COSTS PROCEDURE
AVOIDED BY MAKING WILL

A public service, commended by San
Antonisns, is that being carried on by
the Central Trust company in urging
everyone to make a will and thereby
avoid the confusion and costs of court
procedure, which results where no will
has been drawn up. This is one way
of being thrifty.
This company maintains excellent
facilities for savings accounts, paying
four and one-half per cent interest,
compounded semi-annually, on funds

EARN SUCCESS
BY SAVING JUST
A BIT EACH DAY

No man ever gets anywhere stand
ing still. Begin saving today, say
bankers. Think forward-look for
ward-go forward!
Here a little and there little won't
get anyone anywhere.
Concentrate and you will eventually
penetrate to the ranks of the success
full. Success is making the most out

in such accounts. This institution is
prepared to make first mortgage loans
and to sell choice securities bearing
the guarantee of the company.
An important function performed
by the Trust company is to act as
administrator of estates. The public
is becoming more and more convinced
that the handling of estates should be
entrusted to experienced fiduciary
corporations, rather than to unframed
friends.

INTERESTS SMELLS
SAVINGS QUICKLY

IF you have $500 at interest and
spend the interest as you get it, your
investment always stands at $500.
But if you let compound interest do
its work, your $500 will grow until
it doubles itself. The longer it grows
the larger it grows and the faster it
grows.

HALLOWEEN will fall on Satur-
day, October 30th, for this year, and
it is time that the people of Milford
put over a merry observance of this
festive celebration, with lots of fun
and happy stunts. The comic cos
tunes, masked celebrators and inno-
cent fun help to make life more
worth while to the young as well as
the old. So let's have Milford put it
across. To do this, there will have
to be some form of organization, or
leadership, to make the festivities a
success. There are many young men
and women capable Of doing this,
and it is a good experience for them
to work it out. The activity in such
work will be helpful to them in real
affairs of business in after years; so
90 at the work now. Talk it up, get
others interested and the result will
be a surprise to everybody. Frown
down all rude, rough or destructive
tendencies that may be suggested;
such will do far more injury to the
purpose of fun and happiness, than
anything which could be devised to
counteract indecent, ungentleman-
" conduct, or other fool stunts as to
destruction of property. Go after
real fun affair for all the people. IL
illuminate, masquerade and parade all
the evening. Have merry parties
where friends can gather at the
homes, and do many funny things. 1t
is time for happiness, so let Mil
ford have real Halloween celebra-
ton four weeks from this Saturday
evening, which will be remembered
for it's great success. Some real live
youngsters must step to the front
and put it across; for it is a young
folks job.

WOMEN have taken a part in po-
litical campaign work in the United
States, very similar to their sisters
in English election campaigns, and
are making their impression upon
the people. Of the many woman
campaigners who have developed,
Alice Pattison Merritt, State Sena-
tor from Connecticut has blossomed
out as a speaker. From now on it is
fair prediction she will have plen-
ty of demands for her abilities. She
does not declaim, crate, exhort, de-
nounce or implore; she just talks
and interests her audience. Here are
few of the phrases with which she
entertained her Massachusetts lis
teners:
On the foreign debts: Calvin
Coolidge cannot conceive of anybody
mourning a debt he does not intend
to pay. He is paying France high
compliment in treating her as an
honorable nation"
The tariff: "The protective tariff
means to us what the dyke means to
the Hollander."
The tariff, and costs. and wages:
"Does it mean anything, if things to
eat and wear are as cheap as dirt
if you don't have even the dirt to pay
for them?"
The duty to vote: Some people
think politics is like a circus, that
comes to town once a year"
Again: There is but one action
that expresses patriotism in peace
time as enlistment does in war times
and that is the ballot"
Again: Edison may have invent
ed the electric light. but it is of no
value to you unless you turn on the
local switch"
1--WE do not need more laws, we
need more character; we do not
need more government, we need
more religion; we do not need more
of things that are seen, we need
more of things that are unseen"

THE TELEPHONE is an impor-
tant factor in the lives of all the peo-
pie, regardless of their Identification
with business. 1t brings to the
home, the merchant and individuals
alike, benefits which are not thought
of as service by them, in but few in
stances. How many men and wo-
men in business consider the indis-
pensable importance to them Of tele-
phone service. Do we appreciate
what it means? Think for a minute
of the benefits, and overlook the pet
ty annoyances which come in all
service occasionally, what the SER
vice gets in direct saving to you as
an idividual, during the year. The
result of being fair and just, will
bring very much higher mental at
titude to all men and women, who
have ability to successfully carry on
in either public or private affairs.
How many of all the men and WO-
men do appreciate their opportuni-
ties for doing business, quickly and
with greatly lessened expense,
through the telephone service? A
business man out in Salem, Oregon,
has adopted the habit as Fart of
HE 5,,+ioe On oh ,.oo1,v,,i7,o Novr Voar
to call the chief operator of his To-
cal telephone exchange, and request
ed her to thank every operator in
the telephone exchange, for the
courteous service given his phone
during the year; in something like
the following words:
''You have been on the job "a
hours every day of the year. You
have been courteous always, and
careful. You have been prompt to
answer, prompt to remedy any de-
feet in the line service. But it is
more than a mere business transac-
ton, to be forgotten the moment IL
is over. The service given rue is not
that of mere hirelings, but that of
men and women sincerely interested
in their job, interested in giving the
best of themselves to humanity. 1t is
the essence of better living.
For the pleasant relations during
the year just past, I sincerely thank |
you"
Just remember that employees are
human and need encouragement,
even as you do to keep up the eter-
nal grind of daily business. Showing
appreciation gets better service, and
better service brings greater sue
cess in results for your own service.

FEW accidents happen as a result
of skidding, even in wet weather,
to automobiles or truck; in fact such
accidents are rare. In Maryland the
authorities have found as a result
Of investigation, that practically
none resulted from skidding, but the
true cause for all accidents now laid
to skidding, are the result of care
lessness in driving, or inexperience
of drivers. Records from several
states bear out this statement, which
seems to prove pretty clearly that
skidding may be considered a minor
cause for highway accidents, and
that the type of pavement has less to
do with skidding than many persons
would lead the public to believe,
when seeking for a cause on which
to blame an accident which is due
primarily to carelessness.
