That form of promotion was popular with Banks in the early 20th Century. Probably effective too. I found one at an old house site for The First National Bank of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Yours is in better shape than mine. Great find.

Reads like you had to go to the bank to get it open, I guess somebody couldn't wait.

Some of those old promotional items have way better interest appeal than some of the crap they hand out now.

It was offered as a way to build a Savings Account. The Bank held the key to open it and a patron would deposit the money in the account. Then you took it back home and saved up some more.
