CHRISTMAS FUNDS
REACH $5,994,9D3
Savings Here This Year Set
New Record-Money Avail
able Tomorrow.

Christmas savings here for 1927,
amounting to $5,994. .903. or virtually
double that of 1924. will be released
tomorrow by the 26 local banking in
stitutions having Christmas savings
funds, il was announced today by Ed
ward d. Shaw, secretary of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers ASsocia-
ton.
Release of these Christmas saw
ings, Mr.. Shaw pointed out, will add
greatly to the impetus already given
to the shop early movement, which
this year was started here earlier than
in previous years.
Commenting on the great growth
in the Christmas savings fund plan
here. Mr.. Shaw called attention to the
fact that in 1924 there were 49,3S5 per-
sons in Washington who used this
method of saving for Christmas CIV
ing, with the total deposits approxi-
mating $3,000,000, as compared this
year with a total of nearly $4,000, 900
in savings, accruing to 7S,145 de-
positors.
1.-The rapid growth Of the Shop
Early movement has
caused a change in the management
of Christmas savings funds by the
banks and financing institutions of the
country" he said. when the Christ
mas savings plan was inaugurated a
few years ago it was the custom in
most cities of the country for the
banks to make this annual distribution
of this money on or after December
Is, but this year the banks in most
cities will make this distribution on
December 1.
This change has been inaugurated
because the depositors found that by
delaying their purchasing of Christ
mas presents until after December Is
they were losing the best of the
shopping opportunities and
they were forced to compete with
the tremendous crowds which throng-
ed the stores during the last few days
before Christmas. The bankers re-
sponded quickly to the demand Of the
depositors and are making the Christ
mas savings funds available early this
year"

'The short skirts. the attractive

ITO such degree has this been
accomplished in the United States,

pair of shoes adds considerably more
toward making her attractive"
"In fact, the designers of this
