Slow and Steady wins Suppose your savings account with us when started shows only a dollar to your credit. Suppose you make a practice of adding to it a dollar every week— EVERY week. Suppose that you continue this for three or four years— See what a nice ,tidy sum of money will be yours at the end of that time, counting the interest which your money earns. And the chances are that the schooling which you give yourself in order to deposit a dollar EVERY week during that time will be worth more to you in the futuie than the money saved. Suppose then you begin this week with a dollar. FIRST NATIONAL BANK DECATUR, INDIANA Members Federal Reserve Association.

“A MAN MUST FIRST MAKE MONEY THEN MONEY MAKES THE MAN” Every one who has an earning power beyond bare necessities is or should be an investor. He should first of all have a bank account and as fast as he accumulates a surplus he should invest it in good bonds or real estate both of which are thoroughly seasoned, time-tried and pan-ic-tested. We believe bonds offer the best opportunity for investment for the greatest number of people. They are issued in denominations of SSO up to SI,OOO so are available to large or small investors, and mature serially so that a man can choose the year when his money will be paid back to him. In our years experience in assisting our customers to invest their savings and surplus to the best advantage we have found that no two investors needs are the same. We have therefore evolved different plans to meet the demands of every class of investor. One of our plans wi 1 fit your case exactly. In our thirteen years expe ience lo investor has ever suffered loss of any security bought of us. WRITE TODAY FOR FREE INFORMATION CONCERNING METHODS OF SAVING AND INVESTINC.
