Saving the Money That Slipped Through Their

MR

Fingers

How an Investment of $2.00 Grew to $7,000 in
Seven Years Without Speculation

R. AND Mrs. B. live in Connecticut. He is a clerk in the office of a manufacturing plant. They have been married ten years and for the first three years of their married life they not only failed to save but actually went in debt over $400. They now have two children, own a comfortable cottage home which is appraised at $3,500 and is clear and free. They have savings-bank accounts of $1,800 and $1,700 invested in 7% preferred securities. And every dollar of this money has been saved from salary during the past seven years, an average of $1,000 per year.

I am going to tell you their story, or rather let Mr. B. tell it as he related it to me. If you are facing the crisis in your affairs which the B.'s faced in those early days of married life, it may help you to meet it and come off victorious.

Listen to what Mr. B. says:

I am now 37 years of age; married and the Daddy of two children. When I was married I had exactly $750 on hand in cash, inherited from my father's estate. Up to that time I never saved a nickel and if this money hadn't come as a windfall, we could not have been married. I held a good position and was earning $2,000 a year. That was in 1907. For the next three years Jane and I just let things run along, living comfortably on my salary. The $750 which I inherited went for furniture and home needs and we did manage to buy-on the spur of early married ambition, perhaps-$300 more of furniture which we paid for out of my salary. But all the rest of it went for clothing, rent, food, amusement, books, cigars, etc. We spent it as it came and it was always a race between our cash and our bills to see which would be on top at the end of the month. Usually the cash lost. But the bills didn't press or worry me. I ran accounts with tradesmen who knew me and knew I was good for it. But gradually the bills distanced the cash and at the end of three years I was in a hole just $400; and then the situation grew serious because we had a baby and in order to pay the emergency bills of the occasion, I had to let my other creditors wait and they became restless.

Jane and I had tried time and time again to live within my salary and save a few dollars, but it wasn't any use. We lacked the backbone somehow and didn't have the necessary system to help us see it through. One day I came across a remark made by James Hill, the railroad builder, and it set me thinking. It burned itself into my brain. It was this: "If you want to know whether you are going to be a success or failure in life, you can easily find out. The test is simple and infallible. Are you able to save money? If not, drop out. You wil' il as sure as you live. You may not the so, but you will. The seed of success is not in you."

I went home and that evening Jane and I had a long heart-to-heart talk. We sat up until one o'clock, studying, planning, debat

ing, wondering how we could change our
shiftless, easy-going habits so that we could
feel that we were going to be classified with
the successful ones and not the failures.

We made up our minds that from that
night on not a penny would be spent for other
than bare necessities until every debt had
been paid. We resolved to live on half my
salary, reasoning that if other people whom
we knew could live respectably on $1,000,
there was no reason why we shouldn't. Then
Jane said: "We ought to keep a cash account
and put down just where the money goes.
We can't go by guesswork any longer.
We've been living that way for three years.
We'll begin now to keep a record of our
money.

[ocr errors]

What Jane said brought to my mind an
advertisement which I had seen only a few
days before, about an Expense Book for
family accounts. So I got the magazine
and found the ad. It told about the Economy
Expense Book for personal and household
accounting. The description told me that it
was exactly the thing we needed and before
going to bed I wrote a letter ordering a
copy. In a few days it came, and Jane and
I had an interesting session studying it and
entering the Cash and Expenditure Items
which we had been keeping tab of since
the midnight resolution.

That book taught us something about the
science of home economics. We learned, for
instance, that in a properly arranged budget
a man earning the salary I did could save,
without stinting, at least 30% of his salary.
But we were beating that figure. We had
raised the ante to 50% and that without
suffering for a single need. Of course, we
had cut out the theatre, the cigars, the ex-
pensive lunches and we'd begun to get ac-
quainted with some of our discarded clothes
all over again. And I learned that rent
consumed in the balanced budget 17% %
(which was about our cost); food was 25%
and we cut it to 21%; clothes 17% we
chopped to 5% that first year and it never
rose over 10% the first four years.

We started on the new system in April,
1910. The following April when we balanced
the books for the first year we found this re-
sult: Every single bill paid and $653 in the
savings bank! Glorious! We were out of
the woods and for the first time in my entire
business career I had visions of success on
which I could actually stand without break-
ing through into the quicksands of despair.
We celebrated that night in good style with
a dinner and the theatre and that's become
part of the program ever since the annual
dinner of the board of directors, Jane calls it.
The rest is easy. We were on the right
track and once started nothing could turn
us back.

We stuck right to the original program for three years, living on half my salary and saving the other half. Then I got a raise of $250 and that made it quite a bit easier. A year ago I got another raise, bringing my salary up to $2,500, where it now stands.

I've never had the least trouble, since starting on the first page of my first copy of Woolson's Economy Expense Book, in living within my income and saving money. That book brought us, not only independence,

but it changed me from a worried, half-baked existence into a self-respecting, successful man. I am in a position, as the result of our joint efforts, where I need look to no man for favors; and further than that, my success has brought us into a circle of friends, both business and social, who value us because we are looked upon in our town as "worth while" and "the sort who are getting ahead."

Woolson's Economy Expense Book is designed to keep track of the income and expenses of the average family in a systematic manner. Each book is made to contain the records of four consecutive years.

No knowledge of bookkeeping or accounting is necessary to properly keep a Woolson Book. The lifetime experience of an expert accountant is in the book. He devised it for his own household and planned it so his wife could keep it.

Two minutes daily is sufficient to keep it written up to date. At the end of each week and month and year you not only know where every penny went, but you will have an analysis and comparative table of all the various expenditures, showing just what it went for. Every detail of money manage ment is provided for by a simple, easy-system that a 12-year-old child could handle.

This book has proved truly a godsend to thousands because it has taught them a sure way to manage their finances. With it you know every minute just where you are money-wise. It automatically shows every penny of income and outgo; just how much for groceries, dress, rent, medicine, amusement, car-fare, etc.-and all this instantly and plainly. It is not complicated or tiresome. In fact, once you have started keeping a Woolson Book you will find it fascinating as a game and a miser for saving money.

The publishers are desirous, while the interest of the American public is fastened on the problem of high-cost-of-living, to distribute several hundred thousand copies of the new greatly improved edition and are doing it in this way:

Merely write to them and ask that a copy
be sent you without cost for a five days'
examination. If at the end of the time you
decide to keep it, you send $2.00 in payment,
or if you wish to return it, you can do so
without further obligation. Send no cash.
Merely fill in the coupon, supply business
reference, mail, and the book will be sent
you immediately.
