HOW ONE. MANAGER PUT
CRIMP IN LOAN SHARKS

commodation. The president told me
once that the moral effect had great
~ increased the efficiency and stamina
of the employees and built up a won
derful confida1ice between the en-
ployes and the management. Every
department manager or factory super
intendent could o. X. a man or a
woman for a loan without any red
tape. One hundred dollars was the
limit, but often stretched in extreme
cases to three and four hundred, ac-
cording to the status of the employee.
Again Has Success.
"A clerk in the treasurer's office
kept the records and the cashiers and
factory superintendent sent him the
cash or checks each week for the pay
ments Once n month he reported
the detail to the president. At the
end of three years the rate was re-
duced to per cent and the board of
directors agreed to cover all losses
which had in the average never ex-
ceeded l 1-2 per cent per annum of
the amount loaned.
To my MIND. the elimination of
the loan shark is an easy matter II
employers will simply establish such
funds and have 1t thoroughly under
stood that any employee can in perfect
confidence tell his needs and not only
secure the necessary funds. but also
receive advice and practical sugges-
tons Furthermore, plenty of manu-
facturers' capital is not earning per
cent, and this little appropriation Is
in reality a good business investment.
"One thing the company fund did
was also practically to eliminate the
borrowing of money between en-
ployes, and the consequent saving or
a lot of hard feelings and trouble.
How did you arrange the return
payments ?" was asked.
Very easily replied the former
sales manager. lit was understood
that no loan was for over twelve
months and the borrower only paid
| for the actual time he had the money.
and 90 per cent of them paid off way
/ ahead Of time. For instance, man
borrowed $780, that would cost him
so cents per month. He would ar
range to pay back IS per month. In
ten months he had paid the $50, and
the next month he would pay SIS and
clean up-s55 in all. If he paid in
three months, all he paid was $3.50
interest OF course, we had the use
of his payments as they came in, but
the little difference in interest paid
all the items of expense, such as book
Keeping handling, etc, and the en-
I ployes got their loans cheaply and
there were no attachments, suits or
constahes constantly lowering in
their wake"
