The Benefits of a
Savings Account
The ben fi s accruing from a
savm-s account are manitoid.
The interest received is the
smallest benefit produced. To
lay aside a "snug little sum
for a rainy day" is a com-mendable
undertaking, and
certainly worth all the effort
any savings account ever re-quired,
when the "rainy day"
comes. But satisfying aa
these benef.ts are, they have
not the merit that comes of
the training acquired in suc-cessfully
conducting a savings
account. To have learned the
principles of economy is to
have your independence and
happiness assured. Such are
some of the great values of a
savings account. This bank en-courages
such accounts by pay-ing
4 per cent, interest on
them, compounded four times
a year.
Checking accounts in any $
amount cordially invited.
