Epstein, with Arnold Forster, It's Smart to Save Where It's MORE Profitable! All of us try to get the best value for every dollar we spend. Why not apply the same wisdom to the money we save? An account at American Savings earns 21/2 per cent, a higher-than-average rate—makes savings easier to keep intact—less tempting to withdraw. Remember, too, at American Savings, funds received by the 10th, earn from the 1st of the month. Naturally it's smart to "Save the American Way"—because it's more more profitable.
