William Randolph Hearst is a most conspicuous example of what may be done by a man who has learned to systematize his personal efforts. System is the very foundation of his wonderfully successful career. ’ ■ We believe that impressing upon you. the value of “system,” we are giving advice of the highest order. This bank is.thoroughly systematic. More than this, it seeks to imbue all its depositors with a full appreciation of what system means and what it pan do. We try to teach our savings accounts depositors to deposit their spare money systematically, and those who have learned their lesson find that their accounts row at a simply marvelous pace. •*. Suppose you try it and see for yourself.
