The Horrors of War
Those who have not experienced the horrors of war only know of its terrors by "hear-say" but
even then it's bad enough. '
But terrible as death on the battlefield may be, it has no more terrors than some other things, a '
life of grinding, pinching poverty, for instance. Death amidst the roar and crash ot battle is frightful
but death is at least mercifully the end. but to live and struggle on from dav to day in poverty, pos
sibly under a load of debt, but little hope, just struggling along wearing the life away by inches, that
takes courage and is enough to try the stoutest heart. The way to avoid this is by systematic saving.
Our bank will do its best to save you from a fate worse than the horrors of war.
