Elizabeth Nelson on eMelbourne has written that: "War Savings Streets were street-based savings groups that participated in the national war savings campaign during World War II. In May 1940 the Australian Government launched its Savings Certificates scheme which encouraged civilians to invest in the national war effort. Organisers of the savings campaign targeted Melbourne's suburbs individually with the aim of enlisting street savings groups. Each street group had a volunteer secretary who regularly sold war savings certificates to, and collected money from, other residents. The large number of war savings streets operating successfully in Melbourne made a significant contribution to the war effort."War Savings Street Street sign, presented to residents of Argyle Road, Kew (Vic) in 1942.Handwritten on reverse "Argyle Road Kew [Vic] 1942"second world war 1939-1945 - kew (vic), second world war 1939-1945 - fundraising, war savings street signs, ww2 -- savings certificates scheme

'Garden City Bank Houses' were built from 1927 by the State Savings Bank of Victoria and were purchased by people who worked and lived in Port Melbourne and had enough savings to afford a £50 deposit and a terms scheme to pay off their own semi-detached homes. In July 1928 residents formed their Garden City Progress Association, it met every month at Graham Street State School with the goal of landscaping of reserves and streets (the Bank being unwilling to assist). So seriously were they into gardening that over time they changed their name to the Garden City Progress and Horticultural Association. The Association held its first annual picnic at Warrandyte, on 17 February 1929 which is depicted in the photos in this record series.Parent concept record for Garden City Progress Association Picnic.
