Think This Over
Fourteen months ago a man opened a
Savings account which action was due to a
little missionary work along savings lines by
ourselves. During tho past month he pur
chased a home. We paid him a balance of
FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS
AND FIFTEEN CENTS. He had worked
fifteen years and had been unable to save.
We asked him if our plan paid. He said,
"I'll Say."
