HON. STEWART L. WOODFORD, Vice President City
Savings Bank of Brooklyn, Fourth and Flatbush
Avenues, Brooklyn :
DEAR S I R :
I am pleased to hear that you and other gentle-
men, residents of Brooklyn, have organized the City
Savings Bank, on Fourth Avenue, opposite the Long
Island Railroad Depot. Knowing the great benefit
such an institution was to me in my early manhood,
I enclose my check to the order of the Bank, and ask
you to send to each one of the workmen and boys in
my " Bradbury Piano " Factory, in this city, a book
with the proportionate amount credited to each. I
wish to give them a chance to commence saving a
little each week, and wish you to say to them that
I will add ten per cent, to the account of the man or
boy who, at the end of a year, has succeeded in sav-
ing the largest amount in proportion to the amount
of wages he receives. I do this as an incentive to
them to save all they can, for a little bank account
may help them as it did me years ago. At the age
of twenty-one, when I had served out my apprentice-
ship, ray master gave me a freedom suit. I had no
money, but was just even with the world. I then
and there determined that from each week's wages I
would lay apart a certain amount to be deposited in
a savings bank. Like most sums saved in this way,
it was at first a small one, amounting to only one dollar
the first week. Hut it was a beginning, and the be-
ginning was the commencement of whatever business
success I have achieved. Had I waited, as some of
my companions did, until I had a larger sum to de-
posit, I should probably have spent it on useless
things.
Perhaps it will encourage others to save and keep
their earnings, if I tell you what this habit of econo-
my did for me. When the late William B. Bradbury,
in whose piano factory I was then superintendent,
found out something of my manner of living, and
how careful I had always been with my income, he
called me one day into his private office and offered
to sell to me his entire piano business. His offer as-
tonished me, and I told him it was entirely out of
the question, as I had but a few thousand dollars
saved up, and his large business was worth a sum
that I could never pay. Mr. Bradbury replied : " I
know all the facts connected with your history, and
if you will simply pay me what you have saved sinoe
you have been of age, and will give me for the bal-
ance your notes, bearing simple interest, and without
endorsement, I will sell you my piano factorj* and
piano business." I believe that I owe his confidence,
and therefore my success, to the habits of saving
formed when a boy. I wish I could press this lesson
upon all who work for me—never waste a penny. The
savings bank is certainly the workman's friend.
Truly yours,
FBEEBORN G. SMITH,
