Women are savers rather than spenders. And when they spend they spend to good advantage. A dollar in a woman's hands goes twice as far as a dollar in the hands of a man. If you want to save money let your wife be the banker. This is for the man who gets wages out of a job and for the man who gets a salary out of a position. This is for the workingman, whether he labors with his hands or toils with his brain. This is for the married man and for the man about to be married. It is for men in every walk of life. It is the best advice for the average man everywhere. - Indianapolis Sentinel.
