$20 MOO In Christmas
Llub Checks Go Out
-* Almost $20,000.00 has entered the local
economy this week,' in the form of Christ
mas Savings Club che'dks which were mailed
last Monday by the Icjcal banks.
The three county branches of First Citizens
Bank & Trust Co. report a total of $19,1850.50
has been sent to Christinas savers. The
Loulsburg office reports the largest amount,
$14,000.00, while Franklinton mailed checks
totaling $4,285.50. Runn, in its third year,
seni out $900.00.
Franklinton started Its Christmas Savings
Club In 1958 with 20 accounts, totaling
$1,388.00. This year there were 57 accounts
dividing the $4,285.50.
According to a study made by the Christmas
Club, a corporation In New York, it Is
estimated the moffey will be spent In the
following manner:
Thirty-eight percent will be used for
Christmas purchases; 31 percent u 111 go
to^s&vtngs and Investments; 13 percet.t wifc
pay local and federal raxes; six percent
will .be used to clean up year-end bills,
and 12 percent will be used for miscel
laneous expenditures.
According to thjp, local merchants In the
three-town area will expect to benefit from
Christmas purchases amounting to $7,290.49
from this source. In Lotfisburg, 38% will
amount to $5,320. Franklinton's share of
Its total will be $1,628.49, and Bunn mer
chants may expert $342.00.
Actually, t it is believe^ that most local
savers spend s rrtuchj. larger percentage
of the club checks than the thirty-eight
recorded nationally.
There were no reports from the fourth
banking facility in the county, the Youngs vllje
Branch of Durham Bank and Trust Co.
