The Floyd County bank, New Albany, Ind., has adopted the suggestion of establishing a credit for the schools, which teachers may use to provide Thrift Stamps for sale at the schools. The chairman of the county, Mr. R. W. Harris, also the- president of the Floyd County * bank, writes he will take the same plan with the other banks of the state. The following is an excerpt from a letter received from Mr. John A. Hillenbrand, president,—The Hillenbrand Co., Batesville, Ind. “We had cards distributed among the men on Saturday at their Aid Association meeting and asked them to consider the matter thoroughly. * All who cared to join the Thrift Club were to return 'to our office on Monday morning the card, and we would place one stamp on each card as a donation of the firm. Two hundred and sixty-eight of the employees signed the cards. We feel that the organization has a good start and that it will grow.” ,
