Harrington

rington decided to offer the citizens
of Harrington the Christmas Club
saving idea, with a result that many
who availed themselves of the Op-
portunity of joining the clubs have
an abundance of Christmas money.
This means more ready cash on hand
and should stimulate Christmas
shopping to a great extent. Many of
those who joined the Christmas
Clubs never before enjoyed a bank
account and this form of saving did
not affect the accounts of the regu-
lar depOsitors in the least.
Not only is it a means of saving
but interest is paid each depositor.
The clubs organized last December
have closed this year and have been
sending out the checks this week.
The Peoples Bank Club will pay to
it's membership $8,OOO; while the
First National Bank Club will pay
out $1,000. By Christmas all of this
money will have gone into circula-
tion for presents and for the neces-
stiles of life. Already many new
members are entering the clubs for
1925. 1t is expected that the mem
bership will be greatly increased,
this year.
