DAVID A, WELLS the famous free trader, once told a friend, “If I had left my money in the Savings Bank I would be worth a great deal more.” i “Evidently he made some investments that did not turn out profitably. Thou- ds upon thousands have had the same experience. Mr. Wells probally had an acquaintance with as many men of affairs in his day as any citizen of the country, so if he would have been “worth-a great deal more,” isn't it a good plan for you to leave your meney in the savings bank. This bank solicits deposits and guar- antees the depositors a safe, sane and conservative management, accarding to the law. Savings banks can only invest in J such securities as stipulated by law.
