SAVE FOR A HOME
For what better pur
VU. Po could you save
money than to enablo
you to buy or build
and own a home of
your own?. You'll
never stop paying rent
until you take the matter into your own
hands and become your own landlord.
Saving is easy when the goal ahead is
your own home. There's a certain faaci-
nation in thinking that every dollar de-
posited means another board in the roof
or an extra foot or two of floor space
