Ford Purchase Plan Extends Bank Policy "Our decision to co-operate in the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan is simply in line with our general policy to extend every possible service to the citizens of this community." Wm. J. Siemann, President of the American Savings Bank, said today. "It is an excellent means of promoting thrift, the thing most essential to financial success and the attainment of amititions. "For several years now, banks generally have been conducting campaigns urging people to open Christmas savings; accounts and vacation savings accounts; and thousands of persons have done so. In many cases they started with small amounts the first year, but the second year their goal was higher until these savings have mounted into surprising figures. "The automobile has become a necessity to modern times. It is essential to successful business and it is unequalled as a means of providing pleasure for the family." "The effect of the plan is most wholesome. It is certain to promote a new feeling toward the automobile and will tend to create a greater regard for automobile ownership." "So why not save to own an automobile, just as you do for a vacation or for Christmas? They are all pleasure giving adventures that cost little or no effort."
