ON MAKING HONEY WORK
The man who has a few dollars or a few hundred dollars is
often at a loss what to do with it. Perhaps he is saving for
some specific purpose, such as buying a home or starting in
business. He is bothered with a consciousness that his savings
should be at work, but he lacks the experience and opportunity
to invest them safely. This is where we always help him.
We have special facilities for lending money to advantage—it is
a part of our business. We can take a lot of small sums, com
bine them and place them where they will earn interest. This
relieves the owners of all trouble and all risk, and we pay them
4% on all their deposits. When you have idle money invest it
in one of our time certificates ol deposit which is as safe as a
government bond and draws good interest.
