STANDS AT HEART OF TRADE.
Credit men are nearer the heart OF trade
than any other class of men In the coun-
try. They have their hands on the pulse OF
commerce, and to a remarkable degree they
control the destiny OF trade movements.
Modern business created them. and in re-
turn they have done much to strengthen
and systernize modern business methods;
ey we're a. Is. tsy hsy ,he the
teachers OF mercantile methods.
The philosophy Of trade is to- build up.
and soon TIE credit man found , mat there mere
tire mere collection OF financial ratings. He
discerned the weakness of the business
methods employed by the customers of his
firm. and being on an eminence he was able
to point out the defects.
He therefore evolved from a reporter into
an expert, and. having TO touch the pocket
book Of his customer, he also became dip

and thus falls to stop the leaks from his

he could have money and strengthen his
business credit by buying q set of books.
Thus the functions of the credit man
have extended. and he Is now considered an
expert in business methods. The national
association concerns Itself with all matters
that will tend toward the strengthening OF
trade and by corporation and discussion
have reduced the collection Of ratings to
science.

A new SHORTHAND CHARACTER.

The invention of the method of writ
ing by signs, called shorthand has
served the grand and useful purpose
for which it was intended. The stam-
pede made by business men to crowd
the greatest amount of work into the
smallest space of time, thereby realiz-
ing greater attachments, has given
birth to time-saving devices of many
kinds, but not the least OF these is the
shorthand alphabet. There-are many
different systems but even those which
were supposed to have been perfect a
few years ago are being improved and
characters are changed to include more
in their meaning. The letter ID has
been adopted recently by many steno-
graphers to signify anything perfect
1t has been found that the letter ID
stands for Douglas-the inventor of the
Douglas Patent Closet guaranteed
against leakage and the annoyance of
running water. Bath, the plumber, in
stalls the Douglas.
