FROM FAIR NEBRASKA TO SUNNY TENNESSEE (Continued from first page.) ten Son to the world, which some one has very beautifully and truthfully called the First Christmas Gift. But every gift worth giving or having costs something; must neces sarily be the outcome of sacrifice. It is not impossible, nay it is compara tively easy to get people to make some sacrifice for a definite and specific object. For example, you can get a child to forego his usual candy and gum if you set before him the idea that by doing so he will have some real money of his very own with which to buy mother or father a present. Saving Something for Christinas. Bert M. Roddy, cashier of the Sol vent Savings Bank, realizing the dif ficulty of getting people to save some thing for a rainy day—that day that seems to so far away to many of us, when the sun is in the heavens— hit upon the plan of getting the boys and girls and their fathers and moth ers, too, to “Start Saving Something for Christmas.” No indefinite “rainy day,” this; but Christmas. To some, of course, it seemed a long way off; that is it did to the chil dren, if they are anything like we were when we were boys and girls. Don’t you remember how long it eemed between Christmas and Christ mas, when you were a child? How the Idea Has Grown. Yes, the children would save for Christmas. The parents would deny themselves something, too, and save something for Christmas. So some time in 1913, early in November, the Christmas Savings Club Department of the Solvent Savings Bank started. Attractive cards, souvenirs and litera ture were issued and so the fund was begun. In December of that year, just before Christmas, checks amounting to something over $300 were mailed to over one hundred members. The average amount, you see, did not ex ced $3.00. But the idea of saving something had been lodged in the minds of over a hundred people. In December, 1914, please notice this, $23,400.96 was mailed out to about 3,000 members. Do you not s e how many had caught the saving habit? And notice, please, how i continues to grow: In December, 1915, $44,202.38 was mailed out to 4,600 members of the Christmas Sav ings Club. May 23d, 1916, the club had a membership of 6,500 with de posits amounting to nearly $21,000, an increase of more than $6,000 over those of the same date last year. The estimate for December of this year is $75,000.00. 31 ay Begin with a renny. The Christmas Savings Club or clubs—for there are six—are formed November 30 of each year. The mem bers of Club No. 1 begin by paying lc, after which the payments increase 1 cent each week. Club No. lx is the same as Club No. 1, except that the payments are reversed and begin it 50 cents and decrease 1 cent each week. Club No. 2 begins with 2 cents and increases by 2 cents each week. Club No. 2x simply reverses this, be ginning with a deposit of $1.0') and payments decrease by 2 cents week ly. Clubs No. 5 and 5x means that i. e initial deposit is 5 cents and increases by a like amount weekly; or is $2,50 and decreases by a like amount week ly. Depositors know that at the end of fifty weeks, if their deposits are kept up regularly, the total amount for the members of each club will b' as follows: Clubs No. 1 and lx, $12.75, plus 4 per cent interest. Clubs No. 2 and 2x, $25.50, plus 4 per cent interest. Clubs No. 5 and 5x, $63.75, plus 4 per cent interest. You can readily se the value of this. The saving habit grows. Many who start merely to save something for Christmas, acquire the habit. Industry, frugality and saving start people on the highway of prosperity. This is what the Christmas Savings Depart ment of the Solvent Savings and Trust Company of Memphis has done for thousands of our people in that city. The Fraternal Savings Hank and Trust Company has a similar fund and so these institutions are doing a splendid work in this way. Have you started to “Save Some thing for Christmas” yet? It’s a pret ty good idea, isn’t it. The chances are ten to one, that if you start to “Save Something for Christmas” you will acquire the saving habit. Don’t you think it’s worth trying?
