Alaska City Center Of Queer Things

FAIRBANKS. Alaska.-Alf you should

d rtewsboy scorns your nickel and
asks you 30 cents for a newspaper,
where ordinary meals at lunch count
er restaurants are dollar throw,
where the only communication with
the balance of the world is by wire
less, where Ice is plentiful but you've
got to pay to skate, and steam pipes
are laid alongside the water pipes to
keep them from freezing. you'd think
you had struck queer place. wouldn't
you?
Yet such a place Is Fairbanks. You
might well expect a town that's $500
miles north of Seattle, Wash, to be in
perpetual zero weather, but you
wouldn't expect city located this far
up in the ice belt to be so rich that
1t, could afford water system, not to
mention the luxury of steam heat,
which, while not only providing
warmth for private homes OF the city.

Bank Uses Thumb Print Signatures

card for him. just as we would for
amy other depositor. Then we write
his name and witness his mark. Then
We give him an ordinary rubber
stamp pad with red ink on 1t, and he
presses first one thumb and then the
other on the pad and makes a care
sful, clear impression of each on the
corners OF his card.
When the depesitor comes back to
add to his account or to withdraw
money the bank attendant makes out
=the-slip for him and writeslin his
name. Then the depositor makes his
thumb print on the slip and presents
1t at the teller's window. The teller
turns to the card index and finds the
card, just as he would for any other
depositor. In place OF looking at the
signature he looks at the thumb prints
and compares them with the marks
on the deposit or withdrawal slip.
We have never had complaint or
error from the use OF this system.
There are absolutely no two thumbs
alike, and the thumb print mark is
an absolute Identification. We have
had complaints over signatures. but
never over thumb prints. Men have
claimed that they did not sign with
drawal slips, but no one has ever de-
MED his thumb mark.
