STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD McHenry State Bank Malls 2,400 Christmas Checks Tuesday, Nov. 6, the McHenry State bank will mail in excess of $350,000 in checks to more than 2,400 Christmas club members. Local merchants will be interested in knowing that surveys show approximately one-third of the amount saved is actually used for Christmas shopping and a similar amount is usually converted into a savings account. The remaining balance is normally used to pay bills or to make a down payment on a major purchase. The Christmas club originated in 1910 and now exceeds 1.5 billion annually. Over 100 million saVers had their first contact with banking through the Christmas club program. McHenry State bank Christmas club grows larger each year and the trend con­ tinues to be for early distribution of checks. To insure early mailing next year, the 1974 Christmas club is now open.
