Some people would have you believe that saving money is a disservice to the economy of this country. Nothing could be further from the truth. Your money is loaned out to build new homes and churches and shopping centers and low-cost multiple dwellings. And that means jobs. Jobs for carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers, road-builders, painters and a host of other occupations. Jobs for the people who cut the timber, make the bricks, manufacture the plumbing materials and paint. The list is endless. It goes on and on. Your savings working to build the economy while they are building for your future. It has been estimated that every dollar provided by a Savings and Loan creates four dollars of new economic activity. Last year the $38 billion we loaned in mortgages generated $152 billion in the economy. Do something good to yourself. Open an account at a Savings and Loan Association. We'll put your money to work — for you and for the country. And remember — where you save does make a difference. Newberry Federal Savings and Loan Association DIRECTORS John F. Clarkson J. K.
