Plak Finger Print System Adopted By Waterloo Bank
Waterloo Savings Bank adopts the Plak finger print system to identify illiterate depositors. Three right hand fingerprints are used with signatures if readable, backed by expert Mr. Francie A. Plak of New York. The system, endorsed by the American Bankers Association, is already in use by more than 200 U.S. banks and differs from Bertillon by relying on prints rather than body measurements.
