Accounts Grow

Once the account 10 opened every dol
lar you spend with the Thrift Club
merchants puts three cents moro into
this account. and the bank adds three
per cent interest. Like the little acorn
from which the great oak grows. this
single dollar given by this big. strons
bank becomes a foundation on which
more than two hundred merchants
build a ten-year endowment savings
account which at maturity amounts
to hundreds OF dollars to your grow
ing child. Unless one sits home and
ngures It out one has no idea how
substantial a sum may be saved In
this manner.

local business and banking circles "a

fected by the ContinentsiT Trust Com
pany.

chants. IL easily understood.
II you have Q child OF twelve years
or under. take It into any one Of these
good stores-iook for Thrift Club signs
on the windows. You don't need to
make a purchase-just ask for q dollar
gift check. The merchant will gladly
issue one to you.
This check you bring to the CONT
mental Trust Company. You are given
a pass book. and this free dollar Is en-
tered in It. You are also given Q direc-
tory containing a classified list Of all
the merchants who give the little Thrift
Club checks.
In order that the children may have
an opportunity to learn the intricacies
OF banking and prepare themselves for
their future business careers, the
bank has secured the services of
former school teacher. Miss Maude H.
Rogers. to take charge Of the Thrift
Club office. She will gladly explain
every phase OF the plan to the chill
