Most of us have been taught that it is poor business to go into debt. That is still good advice. There is one form of debt that has many advantages, and that is a "Debt to yourself." Make believe right now that you owe yourself $100, that you had borrowed that amount of money and signed a note for it, due in ninety days. Without a doubt you would save $100 in ninety days to pay the note when due. This being the case, why not go in debt to yourself, give yourself a promissory note due in ninety days... .. then SAVE to meet the obligation. BANKING HOURS Daily 8 A. M. to 3 P. M. Saturdays 8 A.
