Do you unaerstand the true meaning of the word
."Credit"? Do you especially understand its uses in con
nection with "Savings"? Credit can go much further than
enabling you to open a charge account in some store. Real
credit means your standing in your community.
Can you go to your banker and get from him the credit
you want for some undertaking? The chances are you can
if you can give him positive proof that you have been able
to save money regularly. This is absolute proof to him of
your real worth and staurich character. This ability to save
is part of the security you must always have, in your pos
session in order to enjoy credit. No truer words than those
of James J. Hill "Are you able to save? If not, drop out.
You will lose. You may think not, but you will lose as
sure as you live. The seed of success is not in you."
V
Become inspired with these principles, and you are
treading the path leading to success. We want to meet you
at this bank.
