CONVENIENT TERMS Open Evenings North Shore Talking Machine Co. 554 Center Street Winnetka 712 Church Street hy Evanston Bank to Share Profits With All Its Employes In recognition of a year of prosper- | ity, the State Bank and Trust com- pany of Evanston announces the de- tails of an employees' Savings and Profit Sharing Fund plan which, after a few years of quiet experimentation, bids fair to be notably successful. The bank contributes five per cent of its net earnings as its share of the fund, and, although the plan went into opera- tion only four years ago, to date its contributions have averaged better than one dollar for every dollar in- vested by the employees. The fund at present is in excess of $52,500 and each employee of the bank, who has served it for two or more years, shares in the earnings. The trustees have care- fully invested the fund in bonds. "The year has been gratifying to the directors and patrons of the bank," comments President Frank J. Schei- denhelm, who is a well known Wil- | mette resident, "and all of us have felt that we should make clear our plan of sharing the bank's success with our employes. We feel that the plan in its essential details has special merits and will eventually prove of unusual value to the employees of the in- stitution. Employees, under this plan, may contribute up to five per cent of their salaries, not to exceed in each instance over $200 a year, until after fifteen years of service when they may deposit not to exceed $300 per an- num. The bank, as already stated, con- tributes annually five per cent of its own net earnings to the fund. "The management and control of the fund, subject to the board of di- rectors of the bank, is vested in five trustees, three of whom are officers of the bank, and the remaining two are bank employees, who are not officers, elected by the contributing employees. The largest amount in any one ac- count is $3,900, of which the employee has contributed $1,500." | | North Western Announces Revamped Train Schedule Changes in train schedule with in- creased service for the north shore will become effective Sunday, January 17, it was announced this week by the Chicago and North Western railroad.
