THE CHRISTMAS CLUB IDEA

The Christmas club idea has in re
cent years become a new feature in
J banking. 1t is merely a systematic
method of saving money, begun
around the holiday period This is
the time when nearly everyone feels
most the need of money. This is
the period of making new resolu-
ton. The plan is simple You mere
| ly go into the bank where you will
receive free of charge an attractive
little Christmas club banking book
The pages of this book show you how
you can start a bank account with
only / ct, 2 cts, cts. or 10 cts.
and increase your deposits with
these same amounts l ct, cts,
) cts. or 10 cts. each week. At the
end of 80 weeks, the 1 ct club pays
$12.75, the 2 Ct club pays $3.50,
the cts. club pays $63.75 and the
10 cts. club pays $12750. 1t is
really amazing to anyone to see how
rapidly money will accumulate under
this plan.
The bank offers also an opportun-
itY to those who wish to put in an
even amount each week, % cts, so
cts, $1.0O, $2.00, $500, $1,000,
$4,000 or more for a period of so
weeks
At the end of this period, next De
cember. the club member can draw
out part or all of this Christmas
club money or let a part or all of it
stay in the bank to start a regular
savings account
The great big thought in the
Christmas club plan is that you start
out with the idea of accomplishing
something-of saving your money
regularly.
Life is habit; and the banking
habit is perhaps the best habit any
man or woman, boy or girl can form.
Praise is certainly due to the Pull
man State bank for offering an OPP
pCrtunity for every person in our
community to form the habit of
economy and thrift AS each year
goes by the number of members of
the Christmas club increases, as
those who join and receive a notice
that they have money to their credit
at Christmas time, tell their friends
about their prosperity
We commend the Christmas club
idea and trust, as is sure to be case,
that the Pullman State bank will
have very large membership in the
Christmas club they are now form
ing.

GAINING MOMENTUM

The plan OF pooling their wheat
and selling 10 through @ uon-capitai,
non-profit cooperative marketing as
ISOLATION is rapidly gaining momen-
tum among the growers OF the p
cific Northwest.
The Washington and Idaho Wheat
Growers associations now have over
240O members who have signed up
over 100000 bushels and contracts
are coming in SO rapidly that there
appears to be no doubt that 10000
OC0 bushels will be signed up BY
March LIST, when the campaign foI
securing this minimum per cent of
the crops of Washington, Idaho and
Oregon will close
No attempt has been made as yet
to secure contracts in Oregon, but
plans are being worked out TO start
a membership drive in that state
which will probably result in a sign
up OF several million bushels
Now that over half of the required
amount has been signed up, the
work OF securing contracts is becom-
ing much easier. The movement is
working like snow ball, the bigger
ii grows the faster it grows The
2400 members who are now pushing
the campaign can naturally give it'll
far greater impetus than the % who
started it, or the 500 who first
Joined. The sign-up keeps increas-
ing in proportion to the growing
membership.
The movement is also extending
to other localities. An influential
group of farmers in Montana have
adopted the plan and form of CON
tract and have started a campaign
tc sign up minimum of 10 per cent
OF the wheat produced in that state
II is also reported that the organ
lied farmers of Canada have adopt
ed the basic principles of the plan
and are preparing to pool their
wheat for term of five years.
The application of the system in
the marketing of several million
bushels of wheat of the 1920 crop,
which was entrusted to the associ- |
ations to handle. appears to be work
ing out satisfactorily. In all sales
thus far made the associations have
secured from 10 to rs cents per
bushel more than the individual
farmers could have secured at the
same places on the same dates.
When the associations become |
firmly established and have suffici |
ent wheat signed up to justify the |
maintenance of expert representa- |
tiyes in all the wheat producing |
countries and at the grain market
ing centers, to report on the supply |
and demand and market conditions. |
the sales manager, with this in
formation at his disposal will OBJ
viOusly be in a far better position to |
sell to still better advantage. Then |
he will know what the wheat is |
worth, and when and where the best
prices can be secured.
At present the farmers are simply !
guessing as to what the market wila
be from day TO day, They do not |
