Dennis F. Voss, chairman of the eight-month-old First State Bank of Chicago, has added a new dimension to the flamboyant competition. His bank gives an air-conditioned Cadillac Calais, whose list price is more than $7.000, to customers willing to open a $25,000 account and leave it for five years without interest. Anyone depositing $7,700 on the same terms gets a Ford Pinto. First State and another Chicago bank, Park Way, which was founded by Voss in 1964, also have gifts for those willing to let their cash lie fallow for two years. A depositor gets...

Like most visiting oilmen, he wheels and deals at Tobe's Motel and Restaurant. Owner Tobe Philips, who now drives a Cadillac himself, has nearly doubled his prices and started a 16-room addition. Across town, the B & Z Motel is putting up visitors in trailers...
...dinner at his house and a three-and-one-half hour car tour of Cambridge. After feeding me plenty of Italian macaroni and meatballs, we began our ride by crisscrossing the streets of East Cambridge, Vellucci's home territory. He drives a Chevrolet himself, instead of using a chauffeured Cadillac which the City traditionally provides its mayors. As we drove around with WRKO playing softly in the background, Vellucci explained two differences between East Cambridge and Harvard Square. First, the East Cambridge neighborhood is tight-knit: it is not unusual for next-door neighbors to be blood relatives. Second, perhaps...
