@ ur Xmas Clubs

In recent years the banks of Middle
town have been giving their frien s
and patrons most novel and worthy
service in the form of Xmas Clubs.
Each year has seen an increase in the
number of people who are members of
these clubs. The Delaware Trust Com
pany alone paid out over $6500 on Xmas
club cards this month. The Peoples
National Bank also paid out a. most
generous sum to members of their
Xmas Club. Surely such institutions as
our banks, offering to the public such
valuable service, should be deserving of
the patronage and cooperation of our
people in their efforts to make US thrifty
