Advertising Section 81 "$5,000 Working for UsP "I bought another good bond today and tonight Helen and I were figuring up our investments. All told we now have $5,000 saved and invested where it will add $300 to our income every year. There's a wonderful satisfaction in having money you've worked for working for you. "I used to laugh at the idea of my ever having that much money invested. I was just scraping along in routine work and spending what little I earned. Then one day my employer gave me some advice that really marked the beginning of things for me. He said success depends on two things. First, learn to do some one thing well, so well that others will pay you for what you know. Second, save and invest something out of what you earn each month. "I was out of school and couldn't go back, but I decided then and there to get some special training. I wrote to Scranton and found I could get just the course I wanted and study at home evenings. So I started, and it wasn't long before I could see a whole new future in our business. The manager found I could do things others couldn't and he gave me more important work — and more money. I kept on studying and kept on climbing, with three increases the first year. And each pay day I put something aside. "So it's been ever since. As I advanced at the office and my salary grew, my savings grew faster and I put them into good securities. It's really amazing what a few years of consistent saving will do. "Since Helen and I have be&n married, we've had every comfort we could want and yet she has been as interested in saving as I. Why, she was happy as a lark tonight when I told her we had five thousand dollars in safe sound investments working for us! And this is only the beginning. At our present rate of saving, in a. few years more we'll have an independent income for life ! " Success is not something remote — it's notsomeihing that only the other fellow can enjoy. It is within easy reach for you if you'll just follow the simple rules that have made all men successful who have practiced them.
