...bankers will make relief loans to flood victims, accepting character to supplement collateral. If there are losses on the loans, the V. F. C. Corp. will shoulder 50%. Most of the V. F. C. Corp's directors are to be Vermonters and though the Corporation is designed to live only one year, its guarantees will stand for five years.
