WHERE IS YOUR GAIN
Suppose you worked hard and had gotten together, a bushel
or more of-, very fine grain, and the grain was very fine
and costly. Where would you put it? In an old stove, or
hide it in some out-of-the-way place? If you did it would
probably be destroyed by rats or mice insects would mako
it worthless; fire destroy it, or somebody might steul it!
No! You would keep. that costly grain in the safest place, .
so you could plant it and reap the best possible returns
from it. ,' ' t

How about your hard-earned dollars? You most assuredly
want them in a SAFE. Why not keep them in this Bunk?
We wntch your dollars all the time; und you can fjet them
