Bias FOUND AND REWARD DECEMBER 19, 1#1 Broadway, 34th to S6th St. How to SAVE Money and MAKE Money This is a sermon on ECONOMY, based upon a wise utterance and upon seven reasons. This is the basis of our discourse: “The sluggard is wiser, in his own conceit, than seven men that can render a reason.” Every human being is interested in economy, for it means the earning of leisure and independence in the future, through self-denial and system now. The establishment of R. H. Macy & Co., greatest cash retailing enterprise in the world, is based absolutely upon lines of intelligent, profitable ECONOMY in the interests of the public. This story, with the illustration at the top, is planned, of course, to attract your attention. That which it announces is planned FOR YOUR BENEFIT. We show you above seven wise men reasoning with one foolish sluggard. Take it for granted that the sluggard does not appreciate the importance of economy nor understand the Macy method. The seven wise men will now speak. 1st Wise Man: Your money, earned by your work and your intelligence, should bring you in the greatest fine returns. This it can do in two ways: First, by earning interest before it is spent; second, by purchasing to the utmost in quality and quantity when it IS spent. R. H. Macy & Co. GIVE YOU INTEREST ON YOUR MONEY, and enable you to buy goods of highest quality, and CHEAPER IN PRICE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE, 2d Wise Man: Of a thousand successful men, more than nine hundred and ninety attribute their success TO FORMING HABITS OF ECONOMY. Ben Franklin preached on this for years, and evei great millionaire to-day preaches the same, all telling you that one hard thing is to save the FIRST thousand, and that the second hard thing is to HOLD ON TO T OTHER THOUSANDS. R. H. Macy & Co, have a plan which enables you to save your FIRST thousand or to keep and add to your other thousands. 3d Wise Man: R. H. Macy & Co. havea special Depositors’ Account Department for customers. You can deposit there as much or as little of your income as you choose, whether it be salary, wages or dividend. Every dollar earns interest’ as long as it is in their hands. 4th Wise Man: R. H. Macy & Co. doa strictly CASH business, There is no man that ever bought a dollar's worth on credit of R. H. Macy & Co.— not even a member of the firm. Thus when you buy at Macy's you SAVE what other stores lose on bad debts, slow pay and an extravagant book-keeping department. (NO ARGUMENT IS REQUIRED TO PROVE THAT THE CUSTOMER MUST PAY A STORE'S EXPENSES, INCLUDING ITS BAD DEBTS). Sth Wise Man: But if you have a Deposit Account with R. H. Macy & Co. you charge what. you buy to your own account. Thus, at Macy’s, you shop with the CONVENIENCE and speed of a credit account, and with the ECONOMY of a cash business--BESIDES WHICH EACH DOLLAR EARNS INTEREST WHILE WAITs ING TO BE SPENT. 6th Wise Man: Economy IS a habit, nothi but_a habit, like punctuality. accuracy, etc. Form the HABIT of economy now and begin a Deposit Account with R. H. Macy & Co., where you can exercise the DOUBLE economy of saving with good interest added and spending under ‘conditions of the greatest possible economy. 7th Wise Man: Open an account at Macy's for yourself, your wife, your child, anybody you please. Add to it as often, or as seldom, as much or as little as you please. Use it to make your purchases on the economical CASH Basis, when you have purchases to make. “Let it earn interest every hour you leave it with them. Get your balances regularly, showing what you have saved and what interest it has earned. gin the important habit of spending always LESS THAN YOU MAKE, and see the result week by week and year by year in a steady accumulation. Thus, undoubtedly, would wise men speak to the “‘sluggard” too deep in his own conceit to know the true value of economy. For sluggishness never shows more plainly than in the neglect of economy. You understand the simple proposition. Put your money on deposit in the Depositors’ Account partment, where it begins immediately to draw interest, which is compounded every three months. Make yor purchases atethe cheapest CASH rate, with all the comfort and speed of shopping on credit. in an accumulation of money, and above all THE HABIT OF ACCUMULATING, THAT ALONE LEADS TO WEALTH and independence in after life. Your money earns interest. It can be with- drawn at any time or left to earn interest. It is on hand for sy when you need to spend it, and RIGHT WHERE YOU CAN SPEND IT MOST ADVANTAGEOUSLY—no going to the bank and waiting in line to get a little out. Each penny and dollar earns its interest until spent. You spend it— when you do spend it—at a cash store on a cash basis, and instead of paying for the BAD DEBTS of others, as you must do with credit concerns, you get the best possible goods for the lowest possible prices —AND YOUR MONEY EARNS _ IN. TEREST BESIDES. ___If this statement interests you; of the seven wise men above have if you want to begin an if the sayings convinced you; account that means DOUBLE economy--call at R. H. Macy & Co.'s establishment, the Original Department Store and the greatest retail cash enterprise in the world. There are other important advantages that the wise men have not mentioned. Ask {> any of our thousands of customers who have Deposit Accounts how this well-established “Sy method pleases them.
