Scrip Benefits Stores
This year Jake Kedenburg- and
his partner. Duke Donaldson, have
worked out a plan with members
of the Freeport Chamber of Com-.,
merce by which racing car winners
are paid in scrip instead of cash.
The .scrip is issued in one dollar
certificates good In almost any
Preeport store.' It means that the
racing promoters are paying about
$800 or $900 a week to Freeport
merchants for merchandise racing
winners have bought w^-h their
scrip. A check of how the program
is Working showed that tine chain
food stores are getting a lot of the
scrip as the automobile drivers do
their' f a m i 1'y" shopping locally.
Clothing stores and many other
types of stores -are' benefiting from
the new program,' which.jwas work-ed
out soon after Donald G. Mc-
Laren became executive secre-ta£y
of the Freeport Chamber of Com-merce.
*
—Kedenburg says the automobile
races yield-about $50,000 a year to
the Village _jind that the amount
has run as high as $65,000. This is
not all profit for it costs the Vil-lage
something to maintain the
Stadium even though it was built )
long ago when costs were a frac-ti6n
of what they would be today
and the debt is all paid. The Sta-dium
affords a number of year-round
jobs In addition to the many
