Little Things
It is the little things that make
us happy.
Most men want to do something
big in business and fare holding
their happiness in reserve, to burst
like a skyrocket when they accomplish the big thing they are after.
Therefore happiness is not as
common as worry; the smile riot
as frequent as the frown.
The little things are not insignificant. The Saline Savings Bank
has lots of little things in a service
that will help make you happy.
