A Start in the
Right Direction
The temptation to
spend money in your

when your money Is in a

temptation may mark the
difference between an
opportunity to go into
business later on or of
working for wages with
nothing saved and noth-
ing ahead, at the end of
your working years.
Why not open a say.•
ings account in The Bank
of Nova Scotia to -day?
Your account will be
welcomed and you will
have made a start in the
right direction.
