That the people of Barre and Vicinity
approve of the Christmas Savings club
plan for the saving of small weekly
was very clearly shown yes
terday, when the Barre Savings Bank &
Trust Co. started their club for 1914.
The officers of the bank had anticipated
a heavy increase over the member who
carried these accounts last year, but The
crowd which filed the lobby OF the bank
during the day and last evening was
more than had been expected would come
in on the opening day. No less than
$50 new accounts were started vester-
day and many who were unah'c to wait
in line were turned away without hav-
ing received their membership cards.
That the plan is known outside of Barre
was also shown by the number of let
tiers received enclosing applications and
asking to Join the club These ga N.
from different sections of Vermont. New
and one from across the tor-
der in Canada. The officials state that
they win have sufficient supplies on
hand and will give everybody an oppor-
tunity to join the club before they close
It. The prospects for merry Christ
mas in Barre in 1914 seem more aatter-
ing even than they were this year.
