How easy it is to put away small
i savings weekly, without stinting, and
1 as a result have a comfortable sum
laid nwny to meet the spirit of Uio
j Christmas season, has been brought
i home to some 2.000 residents of vn
napolis and vicinity through the
medium of the Christmas Ravings
Clubs conducted by the Nnnapolia
Banking and Trust Compan> aml tho
State Capital Bank of the I astern
Shore Trust Company.
Officials of these two banking insti
tutions have been engaged this week
in sending out Christmas Club checks
to all persons who joined the clnhs in
Decemher of last year, paying a stipu
j lated amount each week. Checks
ranging in amount from 112 T.O t<> sf>oo,
plus Interest at the rate of 4 per rent,
have hern mailed out this week.
Cheelis Aggregate ijts-0.000
The amount of monej thus dis
tributed through the two local banks
will aggregate fOO.OOO, according to
statements of officials. It was an
nounced by representatives of tho
Banking and Trust Company that, that
institution is paying out oyer ?t‘.2,<Too
in Christmas Club cheeks, not includ
ing interest, while the La pit at Baltic
haR paid out about $ 15,00(1, plus ln-
I torest. The closing year is lie second
experience with the clubs or the Bank
ing and Trust Company an t the first
for the Capital Bank. Because of the
large number of such accounts that
were opened, the checks hav*. been
mailed in hatches ranging as high as
300. this course having been adopted
in order to avoid too great a rush at
the hanks in a single day. that would
necessarily result if all had been mail
ed in a single day. IV.ictii ally all of
those who profited bv their experience
and are now cashing In, have either
joined the dubs for 1023, or have sig
nified their intention of doing ro.
And indications are that the banka
will have a much larger number of
depositors of this class fur the year
