There are all sorts of tricky people roaming about looking for those who have a little money saved up and who are afraid to put it into a savings bank. Do not listen to them for you will be deceived. You can not take up a newspaper without reading about some man or woman who has been defrauded of the little money hoarded in a tea pot, or burned up in an old stove, dug up from some secret hiding place under a tree, or picked from his pocket by an enterprising thief.
Trust your money to first-class savings banks and it will be there when you want it, and it can not be lost or stolen. The bank is responsible.
“Some banks burst.” True, but not a good bank, the shady ones always fail when they get a good sized roll.
If you do not know enough to put your money in a safe place, you do not deserve to have any, and you generally do not.
SAVE YOUR MONEY AND MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU
There is one open opportunity that everybody can take if he wishes to do so, and with very little exertion on his part.
The man who makes his money earn money for him relieves his own back of many heavy burdens.
To do this is the object and aim of every go ahead person, and there are many men who walk our streets who have money making money for them, even while they sleep.
All you have to do is to save your dollars instead of giving them away for somebody else to work with—work them yourself.
It is worth knowing that when you squander, or spend unnecessarily, one dollar, you are at the same time parting with a servant that will bring you in profitable returns—you are killing the goose that lays golden eggs.
