The StarSeattle National bank Liberty Bell Thrift campaign has brought home to our minds the real promise of “thrift.” In olf and young alike It has stimulated and fostered a desire to save, Many have accepted the necessity of thrift, but have met failure because they never gave thrift a chance. Knowledge of the dangers that le ahead of the improvident may have fatled to sound one chord of response before, It remained for the Thrift campaign to thoroly awaken Seattle to the advantages of saving and a keen desire to save. The result? Thousands of Seattle boys and girls, future business men and women, have been helped to lay the foundations of success. They will Improve the good beginning gladly, for the fire of ambition have been aroused. Their first depoalt has netted 100 per cent interest! What an Incentive to the future cifiaen!
