WHAT NiCkELS AND
DIMES WILL DO
The First National Bank Christina.
Club Has Been Started.

The First National Bank of this
city is now giving the people Of this
community novel way to save. They
are organizing a "Christmas Banking
Club"
The plan is this: you put in a nickel
the first week, ten cents the second
week, fifteen cents the third week,
and so on increasing your deposit
only five cents each week, and at the
end of fifty weeks these small sums
put together will amount to $63.75.
1t hardly seems real, but you only
need to go into the First National
Bank and get a little "Christmas
Banking Club" bank book and look
down the columns Of figures to find
out that it is really true that you can
begin a bank account with nickel
and in less than a year accumulate
$63.75.
You can start with just dime and
in fifty weeks pile up $127.50 If you
increase your weekly deposit only ten
cents-yes, begin with a dime and get
$127.50.
Why, opening a bank account with
only one cent one copper cent-and
increasing your deposit only one pen
ny a week will get you in fifty weeks
$1275. Begin with two cents and in
fifty weeks you can pile $3.50.
This "Christmas Banking Club" plan
is certainly a lesson in saving and
banking. These little sums that so
many are just "chipping away" put
together, make surprisingly big
amounts The First National Bank is
to be congratulated for offering the
people of this town and vicinity a
chance to save and learn the valuable
lesson of having something. They
make no charge for you to join the
club. Why, they actually invite you
to come in and get bank book free.
That our people like the idea is evil
denced by the fact that many, many
sometimes every member Of a fam.
ily-have joined this Christmas Bank
ing Club. Those who have not yet
joined may even yet go into this en-
terprising bank and do so. It's great
idea.
The place of bank in a. commun.
ity is not appreciated by many as 1t
should be. Did you ever stop and
think what we would do If we did not
have a bank in town? A bank, prop
erly conducted, is really the parent
and teacher and supporter of every
enterprise in our community. When
you want safe place for your money
you can put it in the bank and have
it secure from fire or burglars. II
you are tempted to spend your mon
ey you can put it in the bank and be
free from the temptations OF extrava
gance. When you want money, il
you have the proper security, you car
1 go to the bank and get It.
] The First National Bank is certain
ly deserving of thanks for giving US
I all an easy way to save. The strange
thing about it is that just as sure a.
you can plant one grain Of corn II
the ground and grow big stalk will
several ears Of corn on 1t, containing
hundreds Of grains, you can plant on
ly a nickel in the bank now and be
fore next Christmas get $63.75.
I You only need to plant nicke
and increase your deposit five cent
each week to get this $63.75; and yo1
only need to plant dime and increase
your deposit a dime each week to &c
the $12750.
Il The officers Of the bank will b.
pleased to have you come in and &c
bank book free. They will explain
: the plan to you. It is plan not onl
! for boys and girls, but also for me-
I and women. Not enough of US hav
! the "banking habit" The Christina
Banking Club will teach us how
bank our money and therefore SUI
coed and prosper Long Hive tn
"Christmas Banking Club! Man
