Getting Nowhere
Have you heard of the old colored woman's experience
with a Merry-Go-Round? She said: "I rid that thing a heap,
but after all I didn't git nowhar."
It is a good deal that way with people who do not SAVE
a little from their earnings. They spend a lot of money, but
financially, they get "nowhar." With your savings placed in a
reliable Bank like ours you will in time reach a position of fin-
ancial independence.
