14 The Branksome Slogan 1066 1887 WE ' RE so poor at remembering historical dates that these are the only two about which we can be quite sure. And as we want to write some history, we really must put down 1066 and 1887, because who ever heard of history without dates? In the year 1066 William the Conqueror landed on the south-east coast of England and defeated the Saxon King at the battle of Senlac (Hastings). The most enlightened authorities on history will confirm this statement. The second date 1887 is connected with an event that you will not find in your history books, but is one of tremendous importance to us. It is the date of the founding of the Burroughes firm. We were then furn- ishing homes for your grandparents. Later on we furnished homes for your parents, and some day we hope to furnish a home for you. Outside of remem- bering historical dates we are really a most dependable firm.

16 The Branksome Slogan - The - SERIOUS SIDE Instead of making- their social debut and stepping into a whirl of gaiety, many Branksome graduates will this year don working clothes and enter some branch of war activity. For the first time many girls in their teens will be making money — good money at that. There will be the usual temptation to spend these earnings recklessly, per- haps foolishly. But the wiser will see an opportunity to put some away against the time when there will not be so much coming in. It will be a good chance for girls who have money to spare to put aside a reigular amount with which to pay the deposits on a life insurance policy — one of the best ways in which to save money. There are many sorts of policy and any one of our representatives will be glad to show you, without any obligation on your part, which one would be best suited to your needs. What you save today you mil have tomorrow. THE Established 1869 HEAD OFFICE • WATERLOO, ONT.
