Making Economy Pay With prices soaring, it seems perhaps impo^ible to save. However, saving is nothing but a determination to “get on.” —and after all it is not the money that you refrain from spending that counts. —^to make one^s economy pay he must spend wisely, save systematically, and put his savings on an earning basis. Our Savings Department offers every aid that a bank can give — make the determination to “get on” and start an account today. WE PAY 4% ON SAVINGS.
