Benefits of Little Windward Anchor Fund

By A. HITCHCOCK

Did you ever-hear of a “windward” anchor fund? Neither did we until we established one ourselves and so named it. You see, we had never been able to save money, perhaps because we had never been able to visualize, so to speak, the benefits to be derived therefrom. But the time arrived when it was desirable and possible to save and we selected a receptacle—a teapot—and determined to. drop twenty cents a day into it. This constitutes the fund, but what makes it easier to drop in the dimes is a

pretty defir : te picture—in our minds—of a cute little abandoned farm among the New Hampshire hills When we get $3 7 or $4 worth of dimes in the teapot we take the contents .down to’ the savings bank and get a little higher interest. Or maybe we shall buy a bond. • , . Anyway we have the teapot waiting for its dimes, then there is the savings account and, lastly, a definite something worth while to save for.
