Christmas Saving Clubs
Started December 20
There are two classes of Savings Clubs which we have organized to help you form the habit
of thrift. Both continue for fifty weeks. In one you commence with a given amount and each
week increase the deposit by an amount equal to that with which you commenced the account.
Thus, in the 2c Club: First week, deposit 2c; second week, 4c ; third week, 6c ; etc. The other
club includes those members who deposit a certain sum weekly for fifty weeks, with no in
crease in the amount deposited. The various clubs and the amounts follow:
