This Christmas club Is only ono of
the features ofv the Thrift movomen
Inaugurated by tho McDonald State
Bank a year ago. More than two hun
. dred' have -Joined the movement for
purposes other than providing fund
; for Christmas. Eor instance a man has
a $200 'annual premium to pay on his
life insurance; to pay $200 all at one
' would bo a burden to him. Ho there
fore anticipates tho payment by be
coming a Thrift member and making
a small deposit each week ho In tho
year's time nccumulates sufficient to
.make the payment. Tho weekly pay
, ments have been so small that ho has
i not '.visibly missed the accumulated
total. 'This' is only orto' of tho varloun
purposes for which members Join the
Thrift mpvoroont, which to say .the
, .least teaches every member to bo more
saving and therefore more thrifty.
