Your Money
Dead?
To watch some people, one would think that their money
was dean; as they bury it in some out-of-the-way ptave.
It's a daily worry to them, it's a temptation to others;
the very birds of tin: air seem to curry the news of the
hidden treasure; it's a constant menace to his life.
There is a place where your money will be a living joy to
you where you can get to it any time you want it, and
you know it will be there when you want it.
That Place Is Our Bank
