THE DANGER LINE
The years in a man's life from thirty to
fifty represent his period of greatest accu-
mulation, his ability to eam and, if he will,
save the most. At this time, success or fail-
ure is settled. It is plainly the case of "now
or never." Don’t you make the mistake sp
many make, and let the fiftieth year in your
life find you without a savings reserve. Af-
ter that, it is too late,—the time too limited.
Save when you can afford to save and use
this bank as a depository.
