credit in the various banks throughout the country. These de
positors represent 10,686,000 people, and receive over $141,000,
000 in interest every year, and never have to worry about their
money.
These staggering figures furnish conclusive proof what
the spirit of thrift will accomplish.
These people started with a small amount, and by con
sistent saving have gradually built up savings accounts which
make them financially comfortable.
Are you one of these?
If not, join this army of savers and share their benefits.
