L O. W. Holmes nk said that a child's education should begin a hundred years before it was born. However that may be. the HBH child's education can be helped along a good deal after it is born if the HSRa parents have the means to Rive it a SH chance. HHh Give your boy or girl a square Hj deal. Start an account in the Bank of Williamsburg, if only one dollar, and add to it regularly, say once a H month, as much as you can spare. You'll be surprised to see how quick the "nest egg" wilL_grtrtv. Start MF early and by the^time your child is Hp ready to go ^'college the money is availkhle~*tfthout having to pay it L "all in a lump." The same plan may be pursued to * i - 11? 1 ? give your ooy or giri a reauy valuable Xmas gift. Start now and add a little every month. By Christmas time your child has a nice little bank account. Begin early to teach the children thrift and economy. We pay 4 per cent., quarterly, on Savings deposits. BANK OF WILLIAMSBURG 1 KIN6STREE, S.
