WOLCOTT IN “THRIFT TALK"

Former State Senator Eben H. Wolcott, a native of the town of that name in White county, but now president of the State Savings and Trust company of Indianapolis, gave a “thrift talk” on the motograph at Washington and Meridian streets in that city Monday night, one of a series of silent talks being given on the motograph in the capital city. Mr. Wolcott’s talk was as follows: “Thrift, the antidote for 'waste. To prevent waste is - the greatest problem. Waste is the result of thoughtlessness. To think is to save/ to save is to live. Begin to think. Every one strives to preserve life, but life with poverty is unbearable. A small savings now is a seed planted that bears, the fruit of comfort and contentment in after years.”
