BILLIONS FROM THE NICKELS

Ever Stop to Think of Vaet Sum* That Can Be Saved From Small Amounts T If every peraon In the United State* saved a nickel in one day It would mean that at night the people would be ju»t five million dollar* richer. And then suppose the people kept thia up for one month? It would mean that at the end of thirty days they would have saved one hundred and fifty million dollars. Why not keep It up for the rest of 1919? What would be the result? One billion five hundred million dollars. Sounds like a lot of work far one little nickel to do, doesn't It, yet there are Mcoreß of industries In the United States which are paying big dividends on the little nickels gathered day by day, This immense sum if invested in War Savings Stamps would earn for the savers approximately alxty-four million dollars in 1920—the work of “old man interest,” who never takes a day off and who Is continuously on the job.
