Christmas Clubs See Thrift Through Savings Banks
The Canberra Times notes Christmas clubs as a thrifty method used in the United States, citing Washington's savings banks where deposits reach millions for holiday purchases. It argues such clubs build thrift, educate the public, and can fund mortgages, premiums, autos, and other needs, contrasting with credit purchases and urging wider adoption in Australia. The piece suggests banks as educators and champions of pastoral savings, urging present savings over future debt.
