A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. w. STRAUS
President American Society for TIL
Q BY western Newspaper Union,

President American Society for Thrift
81 find it much easier to practice
thrift now that 1 have opened a saw
ings account than before, because I
get so much pleasure out of watching
my account grow"
This statement recently was made
by a young lady who, after much
procrastinating, at last began to save
money. 1t illustrates a phase of
thrift that often is overlooked. 1t
is easy to spend money when you have
it in the form of cash, but when you
have a savings account you develop
Immediately an incentive to see your
account grow and, therefore, when
tempted to spend money foolishly you
find it not difficult to keep from
checking against your account.
A great many jokes are told at the
expense of the Scotch people and their
proverbial thrift. Sir Harry Lauder,
the famous Scotch comedian, once
said: 1.-The finest book I have ever
read is my savings bank book. I
never get tired reading it, Those
who possess savings accounts will
readily understand the great truth in
this bit of homely philosophy.
1t is due to the fondness people
have for watching their savings ac-
counts increase that the aggregate of
such deposits in the United States
have for many years maintained a
steady growth.
Even the increase, through the ad-
dition of interest alone, mounts up
rapidly, for 81 at 40 compounded
quarterly will become So in a little
over seventeen years.
1t is to be hoped that these lines
will come to the attention of many
who are not today saving money and
that they will be persuaded to make
the start. If they could realize how
much real pleasure they would get
out of their savings-of looking at
their bank book and watching the
figures steadily mounting higher and
higher, they would lose no time in
opening an account.
The first step in thrift is to open a
savings account.
