ping.

Residents Of Milford, who, for
the past fifty weeks, have been
practicing thrift and each week
have been laying aside sum for
the Christmas Savings Funds,
conducted by the Milford Trust
Company and the L. D. Caulk
Company, are being rewarded to
the tune OF $500, 100000. This
money has been released by the
Milford Trust Company and The
L. d. Caulk Company, both Of
which have been in existence for
many years. This is an increase
Of several thousand from the dis
bursementS made by these clubs
last year and indicates that the
idea is still popular in Milford.
The first savings clubs on the
Peninsula were started several
years ago at Salisbury, Mary
land. The general public eagerly
accepted the method to sys-
tematically save for the holiday
season. Shortly thereafter, the
l.. d. Caulk Company conceived
the idea Of conducting savings
fund for its employees. The plan
was successful, and outsiders
were allowed to join the club.
The Milford Trust Company
later took up the idea and It, too,
was a success and secured many
depositors therefrom.
This year the Caulk Savings
Club will send out checks to the
approximate amount Of $55,-
900. 90 to its members. The Mil
ford Trust Company sent out a
total Of $145. 900. 90 to those who
