Kennedy Was Co-Signer
For Credit Union Loan
The White House Employees Credit
Union is particularly proud of the co
signature for a loan granted to a White
House laborer.
According to the credit union treas
urer, the laborer had asked for a $100
loan, but was told he needed a depend
able co-signer since he had been em
ployed for only a few months.
The member thought a while, and
then said he thought he could obtain
just such a signature. The treasurer
permitted the member to take the pa
pers out to be signed, almost positive
that he would not be able to get a co
signer.
Five minutes before closing, the man
returned. His co-signer—John F. Ken
nedy, President of the United States!

ing in a 5-gallon bucket at the rear of his home at 422 j,/
