CHRISTMAS CLUB
IN SAVINGS BANK
Rock Island Institution Gets
Franchise for Novel Holiday
Enterprise.

Through the enterprise of the Rock
Island Savings bank, a Christmas
Savings club is being formed in Rock
Island The idea is one that original
ed in Harrisburg, Pa, a few years ago
and where the worth and success of
the proposition has been proven. 1t
was there that the Union Trust and
Savings bank. recognizing the benefit
of having ready money for Christmas
shopping, organized the club in that
city.
Briefly, the plan was for each mem
Der of the Christmas Savings club to
deposit a definite amount each week
during the year, and two weeks be-
fore Christmas to receive a check for
the total amount deposited together
with interest From this beginning
the idea has spread over the entire
United States and the Lands Christ
mas club is recognized as an ideal
plan for specific saving.
The Rock Island Savings bank has
thus secured from the Lands Christ
mas Savings club, the originators of
the plan, the right 10 use the plan in
the city OF Rock Island, and is now
forming its 1914 Christmas Savings
club.
In class > the member pays five
cents the first week, ten cents the
second week, fifteen cents the third
week and so on for so weeks. and at
the end of that time will receive a
check or a bank book with credit
therein, for S63-75, plus four per cent

interest per annum. In class 2, the
member pays two cents the first
week, four cents the second week, six
cents the third week, and so on for
90 weeks, and receives $500 plus four
per cent interest. In class /, the mem
bers pay one cent the first week, two
cents the second week, three cents
the third week and SO on for so weeks,
and two weeks before Christmas re-
ceive check or bank book for $1275,
plus four per cent interest
Where it is desired, the member
may reverse the order of payments
by commencing at the largest amount
per week and deducting each week
the amount designated in the various
classes. There is also a plan for a
nat rate of twenty-five cents or fifty
cents or $1.00 per week.
Payments commence Monday, Dec.
2S' 1913, but memberships are being
accepted now, There is no member
ship fee, and all that is necessary to
become a member, is to go to the
bank and ask to be enrolled and make
the first weeks payment
