RUSS GIVES IDEA
OF CREDIT SYSTEM
Organizer Tells Pine Bluff
Merchants How To
Protect.
PATRONS AND SELVES
Graded Ratings Show just How
Person Reduces High
Cost Of Living.

At meeting last week of the
Grocery Retail Merchants Bureau at
the Chamber of Commerce and which
was largely attended, C. l.. Russ,
who is out in a plan to organize the
entire state of Arkansas into model
credit system, delivered an address
in which he explained the working
Of the system. Among the fine points
of the new system he declared that
merchants would be spared bad bills,
means -wouldbe at hand to inform
merchant within few minutes how
a prospective customer stands, that
the system is perpetual, bankruptcies
can be prevented and the high cost of
living can be materially l..uced.
The new rating has found much
favor with the merchants, since it
. affords protection to them and to
customers alike and the cost is ex-
ceptionally low considering the bene-
fits to be derived.
The address given by Mr.. Russ
follows:
Il shall attempt to tell you how
to organize for perfect cooperation
and suppress the credit evil.
First of all think every town
should have a commercial organiza
ton and all of it's business and pro-
fessional men should pay reasonable
dues to maintain such organization.
The various Bureau organizatipnsl
that will explain later will not be
expected to pay dues only as a MEM
Der of the Chamber of Commerce.
I'm organizing the different classes
of merchants and professional men
you can readily understand how easy
it will be to increase your interests
and reap great deal more benefit
by having regular monthly meetings
Of the different Bureaus. You can
discuss matters PERTAINING to your
own individual class of business and
create an interest.
Suppose we have only one meet
ing q month all merchants belong
ing and you are supposed TO dis.
cuss each and every business. Would
you be interested in the discussion
by blacksmiths, druggists, grocery
meat market, dry goods. clothing and
shoes, tailors, ETC., or is it best to be
separated by auxiliary bureaus and
working to one end, which is the pro-
lection of every honest person and
the upbuilding of our city?

the farm come to town, going to work
for small saary, then get in COM
pany with other boys who are on
the ways of getting credit and tell
him to buy on credit and we will use
this money to "have a time" With
this system we can tell you just
what he is doing and he will be
forced to get down to business and
live within his means or go back to
the farm.
How do you know who to employ
in your business? Every merchant
should ask the information bureau
when you go to employ a salesman.
Don't stop with recommendation
Sometimes they are too easily OBJ
tanned. When you find one that
has not been straight with other mer-
chants there is other work that that
man can do.
"Before l close this explanation I
want to insist that you do not merely
sa ythat it would be fine if they
would do it, but you do your part and
that means successful cooperation.
l have started out to organize the
whota state of Arkansas in this credit
system for we have honest people
and we must protect them, and we
have the best state in the world and
let's fill it up with the best people.

When matters come up that are
of Importance to business generally
a meeting will be had of the entire
membership, including all bureaus.
IF each and every business and
professional man should join one Of
the bureaus and all agree to use one
system of cooperating in the credit
information what would be the first
thing to do? Pay dues! No, the
amount of money in the treasury
would not give you the required in
formation. Put the information in
bureau; now, how is the best way to
do that? The system is simple, per-
petuating, perfect and harms no hon
est business man or private indivi-
dual. First, make out a list of every
credit customer you have on your
ledgers giving last address and state
the way they have paid you in the
past by giving it according to num-
Der of their rating.
This will be the rating key all over
the state:
"a Prompt-meaning when due,
weekly or monthly.
CD Slow but sure-good but slow
Leaves balance.
90 Very slow-when a collector
is repeatedly sent.
(4) Undesirable-not good for
credit.
Give Just Facts.
When you go to apply this rat
ing you may hesitate to rate some of
your best customers but we want to
give absolute justice to everyone. II
matters not what customer IS
worth financially but if they do not
pay their bills within ten or twenty
days on an average after due they
are not entitled to number 1 rat
ing There should be no question
as to whom should be rated 1. In
regard to who should be rated 2 in
variably replies to an honest person.
Some people are negligent but who
is to blame for that if they have
had a bill presented. Others nave
sickness, get out of job, and other
reasonable excuses why they are not
paying promptly-that is number 2.
Number 3. There are many people
who tell you to come back on a GER
tain date who have no idea of paying
you on that date. The person who is
accustomed to this act should be rat
ed and some times a good honest
person has gotten SO far behhld that
they would be rated number 3, the
creditor cannot help that. VINO
should be rated number is broad
rating and varies gread deal. but
we can usually tell you about the
variations. The man who has mis-
Represented facts is number 4. The
man who gets angry when you pre-.
sent him bill after it is due and
tells you he will pay it when he
gets good and ready etc., should bt
number 4, because the man who does
not want a bill or statement after
it is due should not ask for credit
Who is it who does not want every
thing that is due them and when II
is due. Don't fail to give an exac
rating because you think they ar
letting your bill ride on account o
personal acquaintance. They no doub
have other acquaintance that the,
are doing the same way, and that il
the one who should not be impose
