ASK HER ABOUT IT
Does your wife ha-e to aslf you for every cent she needs?
Don't you think she would appreciate having a little account
all her own at the bank?
Ask her and see. And n'ne times out of ten the women
are more prudent, careful and saving than the men. A bank
account would not only please the wife and and give her a
more comfortable feeling of independence, but it would also
help to educate her in modern business methods. You may not
be with her always. Then what?
