Ogden Daily Standard | 1916-06-24 | Page 4 | The Banker is Right

oo THE BANKER IS RIGHT. Thrift is being advocated by our bankers, and to good purpose. An illustration of what saving1 will do comes to us. Suppose that at 20, one should make a vow to put away at least 5 cents a day and not touch Ids savings for ton years. From this Investment, In-vestment, so small that ho would scarcely miss it, ho would have at 30 the sum of ?1S2.50 to his credit This Is little? Yes: this Is tho smallest smal-lest thing ho has gained. He has learned to look upon his penuies as lortune seeds, and that lesson Is worth moro than his nickel a day. Ho has acquired the habit of saving, which grows Infinltelv faster even than money at compound interest. The chances are that within a year he has mado his savings a dime a day and within two years a quarter, that at 30 he has a thrifty fortune plant and at '10 is rich. Fortunes and all successes succes-ses are built up like stone walls a stone at a time. He who declines to lay the first lough stones of the foundation, because be-cause it is too humble a task or seems too poorly paid for, will never make progress in building to success.
