Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1933-10-12

One thousand dollars dropped out
of the blue sky as it were, into the
laps of two Imperial Valley resi-
dents one day last week, and thai
is the reason for the picture shown
above.
On the left is Mrs. Eugene BeeSon
of Dixieland, who got one-half OF
the money, and on the extreme
right is P. A. Lambeth, proprietor
of the Sunset Market, Ell Centre,
who got the other half.
Mrs. Beeson received the money
as second prize in an essay contest
conducted by the Proctor and
Gamble Soap company, advertising
their new washing powder product,
Oxydol. Her essay ranked second in
a list of thousands submitted from
all parts of the United States and
! Canada.
Some may think she made her
money easily, but what of Mr.. Lam
beth? All he did was to take a
package of Oxydol down from his
shelves and sell it to Mrs. Beeson.

MAJORITY OF LOAN
]. PLEAS BEING MET
About so Per Cent Granted,
According to Federal
Advisory Council.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Banks all over the country are grant,
ing about 60 per cent of the requests
for loans made for business purposes,
according to the Federal Advisory
Council, which has been meeting in this
city.
Ii was claimed at the meeting that
at least one large bank is granting 30
per cent of the requested loans The
Federal Advisory Council is made up
of one banker from each one OF the
II Federal Reserve districts.
The members of the council have
become stirred up over the recent bitter
criticism that the banks are not max
ing loans to assist in business eXpan-
sion and are thereby putting crimp
in recovery.
At most of their meetings the fnan-
ciers discuss the state of the Nation
and maintain silence when they ad-
journ. Right now. however, they are
more militant and declare that the
main reason for the present lack Of
credit expansion is because the big
corporations of the country are not
asking for it, rather than because OF
any general refusal on the part OF the
banking interests Of the country to
extend new loans.
The council has no executive powers,
but holds frequent meetings with the
members of the Federal Reserve Board
supplying as much information as pos
sible on banking conditions and trends
and offering suggestions on the best
methods of improving business condi-
tions.
The councils views seem to coincide
with those of most Washington bank
ers. 1t is understood that the local
banks are taking care of practically all
demands for sound loans which they
