Not only that, charged a Ramparts man, he even wanted to equip the gumshoe with a hollow heel containing a compass-so that he could find his way back again...
...seems to be. In a report on the first full year of the program at a recent stockholders' meeting in Milan, Tonello announced that 13,000 borrowers had flocked to the bank's 83 branches, picked up a total of $6,500,000 in loans for everything from home improvements to honeymoons. For all the fears about hit-and-run borrowers, the loss rate was a low .3%-roughly the same as the U.S. average...
