But the trouble with a great majority of the people is to save It after they have made it. No person should live beyond their income; they should not even live up to it. Whoever spends all they make will fill a pauperis grave. No better way has ever been devised whereby a person can save money than through the building and loan plan. You not only save money but you make it, as every dollar you put in begins to earn you something at once. If you are paying rent, stop doing so by buy ing building and loan stock and become your own landlord. Hundreds of Gaffney people can testify how easily this is done. You live in your house while you are paying for it with the rent money you would be paying the landlord. The Farmers and Mechanics Building and Loan will start you on the road to ownership. We loan to the man who wants to buy either city or country property. Call at the office and see our Mr. Gibbs Pridmore, who will explain the plan in detail, or write him for information.
