Dollars Have Winis
It has been aptly said that Dollars imve
wings." It must be true. They get away y o
easily that it's hard to keep them with us long.
The very best cage for the flighty dollars is
a good reliable bank like ours, when they may
be safely housed and are subject to release only
on your |>ersonal cheek. It's the safe, modern,
successful way. If you have not already adopt-
ed this plan, we invite you to open an account
with us, 110 matter how small.

STAR! SAVING
Start on a New Line
When a surveyor becomes confused, he goes back
and starts a new line. In surveying our way through
the woods of finance, many of us have become lost.
We find ourselves caught in the underbush of ex-
travagance and misfortune, sinking in the bogs of bad
investments. As we go further along the wrong trail,
we find the path getting worse. Many ensnared in the
mire, have given up the fight.
Do you face such a proposition? Do you find
yourself just breaking even or getting behind?
Don't give up! Turnback! Start on a new line—the
banking line! Begin by opening an account with this
ba'nk and increasing it regularly.
