The eight banks of Cambridge and
the county will within a few days
mail out the interest checks upon
their savings accounts. 1t has been
roughly estimated that there are ov-
er five thousand such accounts in the
county, and that the interest dis
bursements at each interest paying
period amount to over sixty thou
sand dollars, or more than one hun
dred and twenty thousand dollars a
year. When it is realized that these
figures mean the amount of interest
alone paid, it makes everyone rea-
lize that it is well worth while to
save money and deposit in the saw
ings departments of the banks.
