Every Detroit I Worker Saves $1.50 Per Day Special Dispatch to The Star. DETROIT, March 5.—Every in- dustrial worker in Detroit is saving approximately $1.50 3 day. It is es- timated today that the dally amount of money flowing Into the city for automobiles shipped from here has reached $6,500,000, and that the dafly*pay roll of Detroit's indus- tries totals $1,200,000. Not even in the boom days of early 1920 were such records established. The direct result is an unpre- cedented growth of savings de- posits in local banks. The increase in February was from $231,000,000 to $244,000,000. The highest point reached in 1920 was $217,000,000, On this basis the more thau 300,000 workers are adding more than $500,000 to their savings ae- | counts every day.
