Miracles in Money
A city skyscraper seems a miracle in
steel and stone. But it is only a vast
number of girder* painstakingly placed
together —a vast quantity of bricks
placed end to end and one above another.
Miracles in money are seeming miracles
only. You can work miracles in your
own life.
Saving Wins Success
You can have a big prosperous farm,
own a car, or travel wherever you wish.

Men who have really suc

You do not need a lot of
money to do it. You need
no great education.
You need only the determi
