Durham, N. c., Concern
Plans to Keep Loan Sharks
Away From Its Employees

DURHAM. n. c. April 1.-The
nouncement of a novel and practical
bic plan for putting their employees
fund into operation in their Durham
hosiery mills, fashioned after the Nor
yis bank.
There is lacking only one feature
of the bank. and that is the depos-
itor. The general scheme of protec-
ton Is there and its special virtue is
that 1t takes the small borrower from
the loan highwayman and gives him
the privilege of getting money without
the grinding rate of interest demand

urer

two are brothers and the third
double first cousin. The spirit OF JH-
liam S Carr. Sr. Julie Carr as he
would say. the father of the hosiery
mill business here, is seen in the plan
which has all the clements of the
finer philanthrophy, that which helps
men and women TO help themselves.

With prices of staple commodities, such

foodstuffs which occupy conspicuous
