WHAT A NICKEL OR
A DIME WILL DO
AT FIRST SAVINGS

The First Savings Bank & Trust
company is now giving the people OF
this community novel way to save.
They are organizing Il Christmas
Banking Club
The plan is this: YOU put Il nickel
in 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 amout to $500.
1t hardly seems real, but you only
need to go into the First Savings bank
and get 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 a nickel and in less
than year accumulate $63.75.
You can start with just dime and
in fifty weeks pile up $12G50 if you
increase your weekly deposit only ten
cents-yes. begin with a dime and get
$12750
Why, opening a bank account with

increasing yonr deposit only one pen
ny week will get you in fifty weeks
$12.75 Begin with two cents and in
fifty weeks you can pile up $3.50
This christmas Banking Cub
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 Savings bank is
TO be congratulated for offering the
people Of this town and vicinity a
chance to save and learn the vaua-
BILE 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
evidenced by the fact that many,
many--sometimes every member of a
family-have joined this Christmas
Banking club. Those who have not
yet joined may even yet go into this
enterprising bank and do so. It's q
great idea.
The place of a bank in a commun-
ity is not appreciated by many as It
should be. DID you ever stop and
think what we would do IL we did not
have 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 mon
ey, you can put it in the bank and
have it secure from fire or burglars
If you are tempted spend your money
you can put it in the bank and be
free from the temptations Of extrava-
gance. When you want money, II you
have the proper security you can go
to the bank and get it,
The First Savings bank is certainly
deserving Of thanks for giving us all
an easy way to save. The strange
thing about II is that just as sure
as you can plant one grain of corn in
the ground and grow bis stalk with
several ears Of corn on 1t, containing
hundreds of grains you can plant only
nickel in the bank now and before
next Christmas get s63.75.
You only need to plant nickel and
increase your deposit five cents each
week to get this $63.75; and you
only need to plant dime and in
crease your deposit dime each week
to get the s127.50.
The officers of the bank will be
pleased to have you come in and get
a bank book free. They will explain
the plan to you. 1t is a plan not only
for boys and girls. but also for
men and women. Not enough of us
Christmas Banking Club will teach us
how to bank our money and therefore
succeed and prosper Long live the
christmas Banking Club"
