HERE'S THE “TICKET”
I GIVE TO MYSELF!
The way I figure it, my savings bank book is the
“ticket” that’s going to take me where I want to get
in life . . , and take my family right along with me!
We’ve got our hearts set on a home of our own, we’re
thinking about college for the children . . . and a lot
of things. That’s why I’m so on-the-dot with my bank
deposit every pay day. Might be the right “ticket”
for you, too.
