*"The Morris Plan of Banking and Credits" is a system designed to fill in the gap between commercial banks and chattel loan sharks, by which loans are made for amounts large or small, secured by promissory notes signed not only by the borrower but by two "co-makers" equally responsible with him. Repayment is made at the rate of $1 a week for each $50 borrowed until the note is paid. Arthur J. Morris, originator of the plan, is a crippled Presbyterian Jew who sells out his interest in the banks as they are organized, yet still speaks of them as "my banks," which vexes directors.

/-The others: "Harpo," "Groucbo," "Chico."
