There is no better investment for a small sum of money than a SAVINGS ACCOUNT.
If you will continually invest your small amount of money in a FIRST NATIONAL SAVINGS AC¬ COUNT, it won't take the accumulation long, aided by 3 per cent interest, to reach an amount that will enable you to think of investing in^a home or going into business for yourself.
