It has been the rule that the man with $20,000 a year as well as the man with $2,000 a year lives up to every penny of his income. Slowly but surely this order of things is changing. The era of extravagance and waste in business and personal expenses is nearing an end. Efficiency and economy is tne order of the day. Bank deposits are growing. , It is up to every one to economize. The best and surest way to do so is to place your surplus in the bank. If you already have a bank account make it a point from today on to increase it. Add to it weekly, daily if possible.
