SPARE MONEY
SPARE MONEY.
The subject of thrift has, in modern times, evolved in its spirit as much as it has developed in its volume, states the “Birmingham Evening Despatch.” “Spare money,” it continues, “is saved to-day not so much in acquisitiveness without purpose except to acquire, as with a view to a fuller enjoyment of life in all its possibilities.
“Many now save considerable sums for the pleasure of spending the money on some quite legitimate form of enjoyment. The Railway companies now offer facilities to passengers to ‘save to spend’—in other words, begin to save for the next holiday as soon as the last one concludes.”
The “Save to Travel” stamps of the New Zealand Government Railways represent the most modern of these systems and increasing use is now made of this convenient method for ensuring a desired holiday.
