There Is a Certain
Salesman In This City
whom a great many of you would know, if
we were to m e nti on hi s nam e .
He has just passed his 50th year, and is about
to retire and live on his income from invest-
ments.
Yet—when he was 40 years old he was getting
but $1,200 a year.
We mention his case as an example of the
rapid rise that will come to any man after he
has saved his first $1,000—if he will continue
to save and invest judiciously.
