MADE BY THRIFT
Group Saving Has Proved
Highly Profitable to Thous
ands of Employees of Sanely
Managed Concerns.
Every business Is either thrifty or
unthrifty. If thrift governs, then
.there will be accurate knowledge of
Costs, sound finance, far-seeing policy,
the best use of labor and materials,
with intelligent creation of a money
surphis to meet emergencies. If un
thrifty, the concern is bound for
bankruptcyr. which will arrive sooner
or later.
Thrift goes far beyond the exocu
tive office, and so does lack of it. A
thriftily managed business will have
steady, skillful employees, working in
pleasant surroundings, with every ad
vantage in the way of equipment, and
'every advantage in earning power.
The unthrifty 1 usiness is too familiar.
It attracts chiefly the driftwood among
workers. Unpleasant surroundings
and poor equipment make work drudg
ery. Wages are below good stand
ards. and thm'e year is istially muarked
by periods of idleness, If not labor
trou bi es.
Thrifty managers have learned in
recent years that thrift facilities ex
tended to their employees are part of
general thrift in management. The
employee must set aside his surplus,
too. He is more than willing to save
If he is the kind of man who values a
job with a thrifty concern. But It
has not always been easy for him to
put his weekly savings in a secure
place. Savings institutions may he
far fron the pay winidow. Em ployers
have overeome this handicap in many
cases by. accepting deposits to be
transferred to a bank, by selling se
curitit's in their own business to em
ployees on the instaillmnent plan. and
in other ways. They have also taken
pains to see that. empliloyees are not
victimijze(l by o,0 sharks or blue-sky
promoters.
Since the Thrift Stamp and War
Savings Stamps came into existence
there has been a wide development of
this thrift movement for employees,
as part of the management of a thrifty
business. Employers know that thrift
decreases labor turnover and also in
creases output. The worker who
saves is not worried by debts. He
thinks well enough of his job to set
tle in the community, buy a home,
raise a family.
War Savings Stamps offer the best
medium for group savings in business
organ izat ions. Thousands of savings
clubs or societies formed during the
'war to help finance the government
have been found so valuable that
thousands more will be organized. The
best proof of the health, stability and

BANK PAYS COUNTY
TO USE BANK FUNDS
Fairfiel Makes Advantageous Arrange
nient. Best Bid Aceepted.
Winnsboro, April 21.-It is believed
that Fairfield county can boast of the
most advantageous filnancial arrange
ment for borrowing money of any
county In the State. This year the
'Merchants' and Planters' Bank of
Winnsboro, of which Senator T. -1-1.
Ketchin is president, actually .Pays
the county one-fourth of 1 per cent.
on the $25,000 to be borrowed by the
county for the privilege of making
tihe loan. The details of the arrange
ment provide that all county officers
shall make their deposits of county
funds in the bank which agrees to
lend the amount needed by the county.
No Worms lit a Healthy Child
All children troubled with wornis have an un
healthy color, which Indicates poor blood. and as a
rule, there is more or less stomach disturbance.
GROVE'S TASTELESS chill 'ONIC ifiven regularly
for two or three weeks will enrich the blood, im
prove the digestion, and act as a General Strength
ening Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
in perfect health. Pleasant to take. 60c per bottle.
The banks in the county are called
upon to bid for the loan, and the
Merchants' and Planters' Bank this
year agreed to pay the county one
fourth of 1 per cent. on the loan on
the condition that the county officers
deposit their funds in that bank.

Interets. In 1913 the rate was 3 1-2
per cent; in 1914 it was 5 per cent, in
1916, 1 per cent, in 1917 and 1918 no
charge was made on money borrowek
