Morris Plan Co. Handles Billion President Topliff of Anaheim Says Public Manifests Investment Confidence in Concern "Starting from a small organization and in a period of 20 years developing to a great financial institution with $100,000,000 in paid-up thrift certificates of members, and handling one billion dollars in the last two decades without a loss of one cent in interest or principal to its members, is the enviable achievement of the Morris Plan Company of America," President Frederick G. Topliff, of the Morris Plan Company, of Orange County, said this week as he reviewed the preparation of his company to sponsor a big program for thrift week, from January 17 to 28. Confidence In Stability "This record has resulted in an astounding public confidence in the Morris Plan Company. Members in New York have invested more than $29,000,000 in this firm's thrift certificates. Los Angeles likewise has manifested tremendous confidence in the company's stability with approximately $2,000,000 invested. In the 20 years of this company's existence, there has not been a single penny's loss to any of its certificate memberships, which bear a high rate of interest with safety."
