"A True Story of
the Christmas Club

A young man named John was
iengagsd to 4 girl named Helen.
This was last December. They
both hsd good positions but spent
lsll of the money they made.
They figured on getting married
Bwhsn they had money enough
saved 40 10 funish a modest little
apartment bot somehow they
could act begin the saving habit
|Sntil one day John received from
a bank. a letter enclosing to him,
a little Christmas Club bank
book.
He looked through the bank
book and saw where he could
start q bank account for 10 cents.
So appealing was the idea to
John that he showed the little
Christmas Club bank book to
Helen.
At once these two young peo-
pile who we're ednaged to be mar
|ried said why we can save
$f27. 30 apiece and we will have
S255. 90 next Christmas" They
were looking at the page in the
bank book which showed they
could make their first deposit 10
cents and increase that deposit
10 cents q week for fifty weeks
and have sl27.b0 at Christmas
time.
{ John and Helen both joined the
Christmas Club. They did not
miss the meney they put into the
Club. When once they began
the saving habit, they not only
banked the amount required by
the Christmas Club but also
opened savings %accounts. In
stead Of saving S255. 90 within a
year. they saved and had over
$500. 90, enough to furnish their
little home and enable them to
marry. Bystarting In the Christ
mas Club, John and Helen not
only built their little nest bat
also learned the habit of econ
orny. which will he valuable to
them both throughout the year.
just such an opportunity is
now offered TO every man and
woman, boy and girl in our
midst. The Arisona Trust and
Savings Bank is forming a Christ
mas Club Everyone is welcome
in the bank. where they will re-
ceive upon request, q little Christ
mss Club bank book, that shows
that o Christmas Club caHsbe
started for / cent. 2 cents, 81
cents or 10 cents. This increas.
ing club requires that you in
crease your deposit each week
with the same amount with
which you start. At the end of
fifty weeks. the / cent club pays
Si2.75; the 2 cent club pays
S25, 50; the ) cent club pays 500, rs
and tie 10 cent club pays sl27.50.
The Arizona Trust and Savings
Bank also offers an even amount
Christmas Club plan whereby
the member deposits either rs
cents, 10 cents. Sl.o0, $500.
$500. $1e.oo. $4,000 or more each
week for q period ofyhfty weeks.
II you viii take q pencil and
A9urs cut how much these clubs
amount TO II will perhaps show
you how you can have a snug
sum Of money next Christmas
without ever missing making the
payments 70 the bank.
The banking habit is q good
habit. Once anyone starts to-
save. they never quit.

II protest with all my energy
against the false Impressions being

IF the British government would

the disorders could be put down more
quickly.
THE news received by the foreign
office from Upper Silesia today Is
that b insurgents are going to their

THE French governments solution
is that the allies should in ths first

struct their commissioners in Upper
