PAY BY f THE MONTH Are Redeemable at Any Time If Purchaser Does Not Wish to Go On. A new and unique plan to encourage savings deposits was launched by the First National Bank today when accu mulative savings certificates, ranging from $100 upward were placed on sale. These certificates are designed to appeal to the purchasers of high grade securities, as well as those who have not been financially able to purchase such securities. The small investor may purchase a $100 certificate by sixty monthly payments of $1.55. With the last payment the holder of the certificate will have paid in $93 00, but the certificate will be worth $100. plus 1 per cent bonus, or $101.00. The profit to the purchaser on the certificate will be $8.00. .The certificate are sold in. denominations of $100 or more, and for each added $100 the monthly payments are virtually $1-55 more. . i . But there are many other' features to the system. If at any time the holder of a certificate - wishes to discontinue payment for any reason. : the certificate is redeemable for the full amount paid in. plus Interest at the rate of 3 percent. - At all times the certificates are of greater value than the amount paid on them. Should a person wish to discontinue payments before the sixty installments have been made, say in three years after a certificate - is purchased, but not wish to cash it in. the bank will Issue paid-up certificates, due at the time when payments would have expired on the original, and compound the interest for the amount paid in. and redeem the certificate at that amount. Or at any time after payment has stopped, the money, paid in, plus compound interest, will be paid by the bank for the certificate. Every purchaser receives his certificate at the time first payment is made. The certificates are, lithographed, documents, such . as highvalued bonds. At the top is a picture of the. bank .building.
