CHRISTMAS CLUB
IN SAVINGS BANK
Bock Island Institution Gets
Franchise for Novel Holiday
Enterprise.
Through the enterprise of the Rock
Island Savings bank, a Christmas
Savings club is being formed in Rock
Island. Tbe idea is one that originat
ed in Harrisburg, Pa., a few years ago
and where the worth and success of
the proposition has been proven. It
was there that the Union Trust and
Savings bank, recognizing the benefit
of having ready money for Christmas
shopping, organized tbe club in that
city.
Briefly, the plan was for each mem
ber of tbe Christmas Savings club to
deposit a definite amount each week
during the year, and two weeks be
fore Christmas to receive a check for
the total amount deposited together
with interest. From this beginning
the idea has spread over the entire
United States and the Landis Christ
mas club Is recognuea as an ideal
plan for specific saving.
The Rock I&land Savings bank has
thus secured from l(je Landis Christ
mas Savings club, tbe originators of
the plan, the right to use the plan in
the city of Rock Island, and is now
forming its 1914 Christmas Savings
club.
In class a' the member pays five
cents the first week, ten cents the
second week, fifteen cents the third
week and so on for SM weeks, and at
the end of that time will receive a
Interest per annum. In class 2, the
member pays two cents the first
week, four cents the second week, six
cents the third week, and so on for
50 weeks, and receives $25.00 plus four
per cent interest. In class I, the mem
bers pay one cent the first week, two
cents the second week, three cents
the third week and so on for 50 weeks,
and two weeks before Christmas re
ceive a check or bank book for S12.75.
plus four per cent interest.
Where it Is desired, the member
uiuy reverse tne order or payments
by commencing at the largest amount
per week and deducting each week
the amount designated in the various
classes. There is also a plan for a
fiat rate of twenty-five cents or fiftv
cents or $1.00 per week.
Payments commence Mondav. rw
29, 1813, but memberships are beina-
accepted nowy There is no member
ship fee. and all that is necessary to
ucuume a memoer, is to to to th
bank and ask to be enrolled and mv
