the idea is still popular in Milford.
The first savings clubs on the

general public eagerly accepted the
method to Systematically save for
the holiday season. Shortly there
after, the L. d. Caulk Company
conceived the idea of conducting
a savings fund for it's employees.
The plan was successful and out

club. The Milford Trust Company
later took up the idea and it, too,
was success, and secured many
depositors therefrom. A few years
later the First National Bank and

will send out checks to the appro-
