The whole secret of life from a business point of view is to spend less than you earn and save the difference. Time passes quickly, and almost before you are aware of it your little fund will have grown to a considerable amount. The assurance that you have money safely deposited is alone worth the selfdenial required in steady saving. (’time in and start your Savings Account. The Peoples Loan & Trust Co. I “Bank of Service”
