His little investment of 25 cents may-mean as much to him as the first ten dollars you ever eamed—or first thousand you ever invested. i i He can be mad= to help wonderfully in developing him into a ‘substantial citizen. His early habit of sensibly saving will do as much as any other thing to start him on the straight road to success. g ) The other lesson is that of patriotism. He has leamed “to do his bit.” A country worth living in is a country worth fighting for. He is too youag to fight, but he wants to help. While you rejoice that he cannot go to the front, teach him to help end this war by loaning his savings to his government. . Thrift and patriotism—two great lessons at one’time. All so easy. Just tell him to get a Thrift Stamp.—and with it a Thrift Card. Then help him add to it until he has enough for a War Savings Stamp. With that he will get a War Sav- ings Certificate—and his savings begin to draw interest. And every penny he saves and lends may help to save some other mother's boy— may go a long way toward bringing peace to all. Encourage him to begin saving today. It's real patriotism,—but it is more. It is laying the foundation for his future—and it is helping to make him what you want him to be. ; REX THEATRE- HARDWARE Edited and published by the Given Hardware Co.
