TWO ROADS
There are two roads In life and we all travel one or the
other- .v.* • I
One road Is made of mud. It has pitfalls and as you walk
along it ysur feet link in up to your shoe tops. It is hard go
ing. Along this road you will meet the SPUNDTHRIFT and
the man cf CARELESS HABITS. IT LEADS TO FAILURE.
Conditions are different along the other road. Here you
meet the prosperous looking gentlemen. Walking is easy, be
cause the road is *mooth. It is paved with THOUCHTLUL
NESS and THRIFT. IT LEADS TO SUCCESS.
WHY NOT GET OUT ON THE SMOOTH ROAD?
Begin to sare now. If not with us, then c'-ioose some other
bank. BUT BY ALL MEANS SAVE.
