COURIER-POST, Camden, N.J., Wednesday, May 18, 1966
—Courier-Post Photo by Arthur C. Jarvis

PROFESSOR PUGFROG bank, one of 20 antique "motion" banks now
on display in lobby of main office of Camden Trust Company, is held
by Carole Jones, secretary at the bank. The display, part of a private
collection, features models dating back as far as 1860. Some of the
antiques have as many as four separate movements before the coin
is deposited in the base, and were developed as a means of saving money.
