A young man some years ago was offered a position as janitor of a large office building. He was allowed to sleep on the premises and later on arranged with a restaurant next door to help the proprietor during odd times and thereby got his meals free. The young fellow was therefore able to save everything he made, except a small sum each year for his clothing, and he got a good deal of that given to him by tenants of the building. Every dollar he coula possibly save he kept in his Savings Account.. At night he studied and in a short time had mastered a profitable trade.

Today that man owns the office | building a few years ago he work- , ed as janitor in.. Such are the Pos- : sibilities always before the man ( who saves. .
