DOOR BUSTER DAYS AT SPEEDWAY SHOPPING CENTER The Speedway Center Merchants Association have banded together to give west siders the biggest January doorbuster event in their history. Prices have been drastically reduced on hundreds of items in each store in the center. Everything has been marked down for the event and in many cases items are even less than % of their original price. Sale dates are Thursday, Friday and Saturday January 12th, 13th and 15th. There is always plenty of free parking in the Speedway Shopping Center, located at 5910 Crawfordsville Rd. just east of 465.

First Bank Joins Town and Country Charge System First Bank and Trust Company has joined the Town and Country Charge Card System according to an announcement by Sanford P. Hunter, president. The bank has begun enrolling merchants and the individually embossed cards will be mailed to bank customers in time for the Easter Shopping Season. The all purpose charge cards will permit First Bank customers to make credit purchases anywhere in Indiana and Illinois and eventually anywhere in the mid-west and possibly the entire United States. Hunter said that Town and Country is assured of dominence among the six new compatible bank sponsored charge card systems because it will be supported by more banks and merchants, and the card will therefore be carried and used by more consumers. “All six of the new plans are members of the mid-west bank card system. The Compatibility feature means that cards issued by all of the plans will carry the some identifying mid-west card symbol and the same symbol will be posted at all retail establishments honoring cards of the six plans. This means that consumers carrying the Town and County charge cards can make charge purchases not only from merchants belonging to that plan, but also from hundreds of retail outlets belonging to the other five plans.

Sales slips arriving out of charge purchases will be exchanged between Town and Country banks, and between Town and Country and the other five plans, much as checks are now exchanged between banks. “Confidence, safety, economy and versatility are major benefits enjoyed by the consumer using Town and Country Charge Cards,” Hunter said. Once each month, the card holder of a card issued by First Bank and Trust will receive a bill. He pays nothing for the privilege of charging if the monthly statement is paid within 25 days of the billing date. Also he may exercise the option of paying l/20th of the amount due for SIO.OO, whichever is larger, or handling the balance by monthly installment on a re-, volving credit system for which he pays a small carrying charge.
