1 into a bank one day to find the
banker poring over a confusion of
papers. The banker explained it
was a group of small deposits by
customers saving just for Christ
mas.
Rawll -looked at the banker's
messy desk and decided he could
work out, a less confused system
of handling small deposits. So the
club was born. Now the corporation
supplies the materials and promo
tion needed to start and operate
clubs in local banks, and also has
a sales force touring the nation to
sell more banks on the idea.
This year, Dorset said, payments
total $925,000,000 distributed to
10,875,000 members. The average
per member is $87.50.
toed In Many Ways
Dorset said toe unusual thing
about club savings was the way
people used them.
It i* net so much for Christmas
spending as for other things, hs
said. Only 38 per cent goes far
holiday gifts. Some of it is used
for regular bills, some for educa
tor! of the youngsters, and a big
ebaak 38 percent—goes back into
some form of savings.
Many a member has used the
savings to help start a business.
Dorset heard of one woman whose
husband became ill and the couple
had to move to the warm, dry
climate of the southwest. They :
didpt have enough capital to start
a big buslnesa bat the club money
waa enough to underwrite a small '
.protest stationery .with desert I

Dorset said one widow, living on i
the east coast, used club money
‘to toy sow fishing boat, and now
operates a fleet of vessels.

you don’t have to worry about
bashed fenders.
It’s right here in Washington
where dents on tots come some
thing like one every minute.
The new system is dubbed the
“Park-O-Mat." It was unveiled
this week in- a narrow, straight-up
building in one of the busiest sec

The thing can jSarx up to -72 ears,
from Austins to Cadillacs, without

That did it. Sinclair went to his

pretty steadily for 10 years before
hie “Park-O-Mat” was perfected.
By measuring your car like the
fitting stiek measures your pinkies,
the gadget on the “car ‘positioner'
is able to get a good, firm grip on
the sere and aft bumpers during
its fast trip to and from the park

slight incline so there is no donger

ones will fit where.

gimmick. And, again, maybe not.
