so believe me, the story's true.

From where I sit, I wouldn't
want to try this “Easy” way to
make money. Usually, it takes
time for a bank roll to grow . . .
just as it takes time for a friend

the solid friendship you can build.*
You can “bank" on that.

KQUITABLI
REPRESENTATIVE
Your Equitable representative can show you how to make earnings
on your operating money and still keep it available to you. That’s
one important reason why Equitable savings programs are fol
lowed by so many operators o f farms, ranches, and businesses.
Another big factor is Equitable's unequalled safety. established
in 1890, Equitable has never closed its doors on a business day,
never reorganized, always paid every cent of principal and
earnings due. Do yourself a favor: find out exactly what the
Equitable plan has to offer. Phone your Equitable representative
or fill in and mail the coupon below for full details.
