REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ALL PUT MONEY IN 
THE SAVINGS BANK 
1. Because it is your surest way to get a start in life. 
Thousands of rich men would have been poor all their 
lifetime had they not used the Savings Bank. 
2. Because, being your own masters, it is your duty to 
provide for your settlement in life, for your families, for 
sickness, and for old age. You can in no way do this so 
well as by a monthly deposit in a good Savings Bank. 
3. It teaches you the value of money, and prevents you 
from spending it foolishly. 
4. You should use this Bank because it is conducted 
entirely by your best friends, and it is hoped you will, 
ere long, help to conduct it yourselves; and being au- 
thorized by Congress, and approved by the President of 
the United States, it is the safest place you can find for 
your money. 
5. It gives you character. As soon as you become worth 
a little money or property, every one begins to respect 
you and ask your advice. 
6. It is a good example of thrift to your children, whom 
you desire to see respected and prosperous citizens. They 
will be sure to imitate your example.
