SIGNS UP FOR CHRISTMAS CLUB - “DOC” Foster, is
shown above with Sylvia Tate of Hudson Office, as he
signs up for the 1957 Christmas Savings Club.
Savings Club
Is Underway
A Christmas Savings Club has
been started at Anvil Brand with
419 employees signed Up for the
legular payroll deductions. Fifty
of the savings club members are
employed at the plant in Inde
pendence.
This method of saving a speci
fied amount each month, with the
total sum to be distributed next
November, is in effect in many
in?ft^strial plants.
Atlvil Brand’s Savings Club is
being handled through Security
Bank and our Independence bank,
with plans available from $25 up.
The man who just switched to
bifocals is never at a loss for
conversation.
The doctor received a visit
from a man who was worrying
about his heart.
“Do you smoke much?” in
quired the doctor.
“About 15 cigars a day.”
“You’ll have to cut down. It
will be hard, but try to be satis
fied with one after each meal.”
A few weeks later the man re
turned for a check-up. The doctor
complimented him on the im
provement in his health. “You
see, that’s what happens when
patients follow their doctor’s
orders.”
“Well, it isn’t always easy to
do,” said the visitor. “Sometimes
it’s hard to eat 15 meals a day.”

people’s business.
