As the Twig is Bent
The Tree's Inclined"
How is it with the young people of your' household? Are
they saving money? Have they learned to appreciate the
value of the dollar? Are you endeavoring to instill into
their minds correct ideas concerning thrift and economy?
Are you .seeking the opportunity , to "bend the twig?"
Would you like to listen to a plain suggestion? If so, here
it is: .:..
Send the young folks to our bank with the first spare
dollar that comes into their hands. The next dollar should
be treated in like manner, and the practice bo continued
until a fixed habit of saving has been established. A good
ly bank account will soon result; the young folks will get
an inkling of the ways of business, and, being thus "in
clined" are likely to grow up into straight and thrifty
manhood. , '
