Clubbers Here
Get s73,11S

A 1861 Christmas Club nest
egg of $73.ll8 was distributed to
1,058 participating patrons by
the three banks of Farmville
Saturday.
The average check per clubber
was approximately $40.
The 1861 total was slightly
below that of a year ago when
SIT $40 was distributed. The
popularity of the system was
undiminished, however, since
there was only a difference of
five in the total number of
participants.
Nationally, according to the
Christmas Club Corporation in
New York. the payoff this year
hit new high of a billion and
a half dollars. There were over
Is million participants in all so
of the U. S. states.
The average check per mem
Der over the nation was SIP.
