WHAT REAL THRIFT S
WILL ACCOMPLISH
?? O*" Saving Ti
Th#lr M* MotUr of
Fi**d Habit.
Abraham Lincoln waa a noUbla ?x QtDlar
of tba rmlufl ot thrift of time.
W? can picture him trudging forty *
miles to borrow a grammar. We can h,
as him prone before the pine fire at ^
??*ht after hard day's work log- 0
cutting, reading end re-reading the a
statutes of Indiana the only book he ^
owned, or learning to write and figure t(
witL a piece of charcoal on the back of #|
a wooden ehorel. aa he had no paper .
or ink.
Another example of what a boy can |(
do who doee not waate time la that of tl
* Milwaukee man, Nels Anton Chris- n
tensen, recently appointed by the n
United States government, through c
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, on the s
inventors' staff of the new United t'
States Naval Board, which Includes n
the greatest inventive minds In the c
nation. d
Born In Denmark. Nels Christen- ti
en's school days ended at 14 years, t
Vter that he worked In a machine
shop days and attended a technical a
school In the evenings. Prom his li
savings he defrayed the expeaee e< a p
course at the Copenhagen Technique t
Institute, from which he was gradual- t:
?mj it 21. freTioui iu \am\ a? iiutin- li
national prominence aa an engtmeer. o
baring designed, whan 19 yeara old. p
the Danish lighthouse at Hanstholma, t
one of the largest In the world. c
During the three fears he spent en 1
an English steamer engaged In Med- I
lt-'rranean trade he learned enough
English to secure a position with an ' e
English manufacturing concern. Since t
coming to the United Statea he haa la- f
mted many compressed airbrake 1
starters for railroads, aeroplanes and f
fire engines that hare brought him *
world-wide fame. i
Thomas Edison began to sare be- *
fore he began to invent. The successful
magazine editor. Edward Bok. i
started saving on a salary of 60 cents I
a week. Grover Cleveland's wages
for his llrst year of work totaled $50.
Oarfleld could not have become president
had he not saved early in life (
Horace Greeley and Cooper founded
their oareers on saving.
Ex-Governor Ferrle of Michigan,
now a college president, a life-long advocate
of thrift, tells of his own thrifty
training: "In my youth K I had a
toy. I made It. and mode It not to
ault myself alone but It hatf to suit
my father as well. Hit examination
of my work and his Insistence that 1
ahodlfl' put the beet there was in me
even into my toys put into my back
a spine and sufficient lime to last a
lifetime"
Thrift was the keynote of succeea 1n
the life of the late Jaraee J. Hill. He
was owe of the country's most consistent
exponents of thrift, oae of the
greatest exarapku-t of what this vlr
tue combined with eaergy and high
purpose, can do. He preached always I
that the man who cannot tare money I
-will be a failure; that though he may
havs education, talent and ability,
without thrifty hablte he cannot succeed.
The hen that layn an egg a day la
a gold mint for her owner. Take a
lesson from the hen! Lay up for
your future by inventing regularly In
War Savings Stamps.
1 The
cornerstone of tomorrow's success
la founded upon today's thrift.
Any postman tan lay the cornerstone
tor you with War Savings Stamps.
Soma one Is saving what you spend
foolishly. Who Is depos'ttng your dollars?
Invest them in W fi 8 and
avs them for yourself J
