Mt» THROUGH A LEAKY POCKET but not as lunch as through an indisposition to save LOOK HERE YOUNG MAN yon who are still at school—you who are ready to make a start in life. Suppose the President of a large manufacturing concern, a wholesale firm, a transportation oompany, should step up to you and say "I need a man to manage my business who can lay aside a little more for the stockholders to whom I will pay U*X) per month." lie almost invariably picks on a man who baa made hie way from youth. Suppose he should ask "how have you succeeded this far in life? Have you laid aside any portion of your income?" Could you say to him that you had? If not you could not even hope that he would stop to consider you. Thousands are filling such positions and started early in life on the principal of laying aside each day, each month a portion of thia income which liecame a re source to them. The demand for such men is greater toil ay than ever before. There ia no better way to accomplish thia than denoaiting your whole income in a good lank and |iay by cheek being careful tn see that your reserve increases.
