It always begins on January 17, an historical date of great significance in so far as thrift is concerned, for January 17 is the birthday of Benjamin Franklin, our American apostle of thrift. Each of six days of the week which follows are devoted to some specific thrifty purpose. All of these days have an individual appeal to a certain distinct group in your community.
