Thomson of the District Bankers' Association. In 1924 a total in excess of $3,000,000 was saved. In 1925 the total jumped to about $4,500,000 and last year the aj nw was $7,035,000. Bankers have 3uick to Tespond to the demand of lhe lepositors for an nrlur distribution each year, Mr. Shaw sald. “The depositors found that when it was delayed until December 15 or Iater they were losing the best of the Christmas shopping om;ortunmes ‘Their money was not available until the mer- chandise stocks in the city had been somewhat depleted and they were forced to_compete with tremendous crowds thronging the stores late in December,” | he_explained. Bankers state that a chief factor in bnnm about earlier distribution of 'se funds was the fact that in prac- tle.lly all cities retail merchants have the tendency to earlier shop- ping, and this season are placing their Chflst.mu holiday stocks on sale much earlier than in former years, .
