this the latest inventory you can fur

Mote claimed no later inventory
was available.
Commissioner Clyde H. Jones was
most active in questioning the util-
ity group. When the proposed rate
schedule was presented, in which
Harley Clarke suggested possible
rate reductions to consumers of
$4,000 annually, if the merger is
permitted.
Jones looked it over and de-
manded: "Mr. Clarke, where does the
small consumer get off in this new
rate? 1t looks here as If the big
users were getting all that 1916, 900"
Clarke acknowledged that to be a
fact.
The inventory filed was criticised
by attorneys for the professors and
the commissioners because of the
absence Of detailed prices, making it
impossible to be checked, /but was
nevertheless accepted over protest
of attorneys.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 20
Mamma, 1 lent Nose Plough's boy,
Abe, $125 today" said Harry Cohn,
president of the American Savings
Bank, to his wife one evening seven
teen years ago.
"Abe's a good boy" said Mrs.
Cohn,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-12-23

There you have the outline of a
genuine Christmas story-the story
of how $125 loan, made seventeen
years ago, saved the day for 5000
persons of moderate means, whose
Christmas savings were swept away
this fall when the American Savings
Bank crashed.
Abe Plough, who borrowed the
$125, invested cannily. With that
money as a basis, he built up the
Plough Chemical Company, which
does business throughout the world
Today his wealth is estimated at
more than 81 100000
Incidentally, Abe Plough also
wooed and won the. daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Conn.
A few weeks ago Clarence Hen
ochsberg, teller and assistant cash
Ter of the bank, committed suicide.
His accounts were 100000 short.
This shortage wiped out the banks
100000 capital and its 1922, 900 sur
plus.
And there were 5000 Christmas
savings checks, representing a total
of $235,000, waiting to be cashed.
To make 1t worse. these were held
almost entirely by poor persons,
who had saved nickels and dimes to
get funds for Christmas shopping.
Harry Cohn, now 80, was helpless.
To % III
tears in his eyes, while hysterical de-
positors waited outside.
A reporter for the Memphis Press
Scimitar, Scripps-H Howard paper,
got in touch with Plough and out
lined the situation to him. Plough
agreed that the Christmas fund de-
positors, at all events, must be saved.
Plough interested other rich men,
to keep it from looking too much like
a family affair. They pledged $4,000.
Plough contributed the remaining
900. Quarters were opened In
the old bank building. and the Christ
mas fund checks were paid off In
full
Plough, by the way, refused to
take any credit Tor himself On the
walls of the bank he had signs erect
ed stating that an insurance com
pany, a department store and 9TH
ers'' had made the money good
Few knew that Plough had prao-
tically done 1t all.
Plough is just 35, still boyish in
appearance. He says that the foun-
dation of all his success was the S125
loan Harry Cohn made him seven
teen years ago.
Mamma, we cashed all those
Christmas checks at 100 cents on the
dollar. 1t was wonderful of Abe"
said Harry Cohn to his wife the
other evening.
YES" she said. "Abe's a good
boy"
