CHRISTMAS BANKING
CLUB STARTS TODAY
MERCHANTS BANK WILL AGAIN
OPERATE CLUB TO ENCOURAGE
THRlFT AND SAVING AMONG
THE PEOPLE.

The Merchants Bank. Daytona's
most powerful financial institution.
has announced that it will again OPP
crate a Christmas Banking club.
The primary object of the Christ
mas Banking club is to encourage
thrift. Through this means many
have started the habit of saving sys
tematically. as it has been the chan
mel by which they have learned how
many small amounts will grow to
quite substantial sums in the course
of only fifty weeks.
Most of the happy-golucky class
feel the need of money at the great
Yuletide season. as they are. oft times
the recipients of gifts and want to re-
ciprocate. but cannot. While they
are in this unenviable frame of mind
naturally the Christmas Ranking club
appeals strongly to them and then
the first step is taken with a view to
having the desired coin another
year With this object in view, the
Christmas Banking club gets another
member. Some of these belong to the
wage earning class and they soon find
| how easy it is to put by a stipulated
sum each week. At the end of the
| 50-week period the member realizes
he has quite a substantial sum to his
credit and naturally dislikes to let
what he has saved in all these weeks
go just in day or two. He has learn
ed the value of saving and the salts
! fled feeling which goes with having
a snug nest egg at the bank.
! Now. to induce thrift and the habit
of saving. the Merchants bank has
clubs which are appropriate to the
needs and within the reach Of all. For
/ instance they have a one-cent club,
two-cent club and so on UP TO any
amount The One-cent club calls for
a payment of one cent the first week.
two cents the second week and so on
each week, the amount increasing one
cent over the amount deposited the
previous week until the last weekly
payment aggregates 80 cents. At the
end of the 50-week period the de-
positor has s1275 principal to his
credit to which is added interest il
the payments have ben regularly
made.
i 1t costs nothing to join the Christ
mas Banking club and there are nc
fees or fines. Any one may join
there are positively no restrictions
There is an elaborate ad in this is
sue about the club-it has a personal
invitation to you from the Merchant
