Predicting Gains

1t is estimated that a total of
approximately $150,0OO will be re-
ceived this week by the Christmas
Club members of the five Main
land banks. Despite the employ
ment conditions which have existed
throughout the year, bank officials
today expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the popular
enthusiasm shown in the clubs.
The total of Christmas Club
members in the five banks is ap-
proximately 5000, making the
average of each check mailed out
this week $3.50.
In Pleasantville there were 1000
members in the three banks: First
National, Pleasantville National
and Pleasantville Trust Company.
More than $4,000 was deposited
on Christmas Club accounts in
these banks alone.
At the Absecon National Bank
$50 members are receiving total
of $4,000 in checks, while the First
National Bank of Somers Point is
mailing $1,000 to it's ESQ club
members.
The 1928 Christmas Clubs have
been or will soon be opened at all
five banks. Each bank reported
decided increase in membership in
1927 over the previous year, and
all predict that the 1928 clubs will
gain anywhere from fifty to one
hundred percent over the total for
this year.
Since the Inauguration of the
first Christmas Clubs in this city
come years ago, people have come
70 regard them as a regular bank
ing institution, according to bank
officials. The popularity of this
simple savings system has in
creased year by year, and there
are today very few men and
women of saving habits who do not
carry a Christmas Club account.
