Show DON'T TRUST THE SOCK There are still many people around Delta who still put their money away in an old sock or the sugar bowl, and refuse to ' ' trust it to Uncle Sam or a good, solid banking institution. We read recently where a man lost his straw hat, and with it $75 he had stored away inside the hat-band. Another man gave a bootblack a pair of shoes to shine and when too late remembered remem-bered he had stuffed $2,000 in the toes of the shoes for safekeeping. safe-keeping. And every day we read of money stolen from its hiding hid-ing place under the rug or mattress the first place a burglar . looks for valuables. But some people simply can't profit by these exmaples; they can't bring themselves to realize that nothing no-thing in all the world is as safe as Liberty Bonds and war savings sav-ings stamps, and that bank failures are almost unheard of In this country any more. We're sorry for these kind of people the kind who are afraid to trust their fellowmen. We're sorry for anyone who loses sleep and the man who can't trust his mxjney into the keeping of others usually loses more or less sleep for fear someone will walk away with the sugar bowl or tha box. 1 |
