The Savings
Habit
The savings habit is what counts these
days, and there was never a better time to
start than right now. The sooner you start,
the. sooner the amounts will pile up to a
substantial sum. Laying aside a little each
week is easy and you'll never miss it. And
you don't have to call upon your imagination very hard to realize what'a benefit it
will be to you, should you be suddenly called
upon to use it.
