Why
Hard
Save
Everybody would like, to have money saved up. Anybody
knows the importance of saving part of what he earns. Nobody
looks forward to old age or a lost job without wanting the pro
tection of accumulated wealth.
lint the actual jo!) of saving money is hard and you never
save (tiite as much as you plan.
What's the reason?
The. trouble is that saving is generally the last part of your
financial program instead of the first. Necessities are purchased,
bills are paid, and you got to the end of the month to find that
there's no money left. It has gone for other things and your
saving isn't made. :
The La Grande Huilding & Loan investment helps cure that
evil. You contract a' payment of so much a week or month
and you pay it on payday the first thing, not the last. You have
a definite goal in sight you have something to work for. You
can see. what your money is going to accomplish. Let us talk it
over with you in detail.
