...DID YOU?
Discovered what? The age-old formula for getting ahead:
"Part of all you earn is yours to keep." Where does he
keep his savings? In a BANK savings account.
Why a BANK savings account? Because a bank offers
not only safety, interest and friendliness, but also so many
helpful financial services under one roof.
Deposit your savings in a BANK savings account. It's a
BANK savings account when the teller will tell you he can
accept deposits...that your de-
-r~
posits are insured up to $10,000
by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. And, of course, it’s
a BANK savings account when
you deposit your savings with us.
