INTEREST RATES ON TIME DEPOSITS ARE LARGE, AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH IS TAKEN OUT, THERE CAN NEVER BE AN OVERDRAFT. ALL ITS ACCOUNTS ARE JOINT ACCOUNTS TO WHICH YOUR FRIENDS CONTRIBUTE AS WELL AS YOU. BY EVERY ACT WHICH FIXES THEM PLEASANTLY IN YOUR MEMORY, DO THEY ENRICH YOUR LIFE AS YOU IN TURN MUST ADD TO THEIRS. EACH ACCOUNT IS BOTH A CHECKING ACCOUNT AND A SAVING ACCOUNT. A CHECKING ACCOUNT UPON WHICH YOU DAILY DRAW FOR SUPPORT IN THE BUSINESS OF LIVINGg A SAVING ACCOUNT WHICH PROVIDES FOR THE RAINY DAY WHEN MEMORY WILL TAKE YOU BACK ALONG THE GOLDEN PATH TO YESTERYEAR. THE GOALS OF LIFE ARE RECEDING, NEVER ATTAINABLE, BUT THE REWARDS OF LIFE AREIN THE LIVING WE DO TOGETHER AND THAT IS OUR TREASURY. THOMAS H. ELSON, PRINCIPAL
