THE BUILDING OF THE PYRAMID
All of the toil and effort that went into the building of those mammoth Pyramids which have weathered the storms of cen- turies and the hot Egyptian sun-all of this would not compare with the toil and effort used to build this pyramid of assets.
But there is a difference. The Egyptian Pyramids were builded by slaves as monuments to kings, builded by the driving toil of unwilling hands. The National Pyramid is builded by free men in the pursuit of health and happiness for their loved ones, builded by willing hands and unselfish hearts.
