Strange as it may seem, those who
have operated on the. pay-as-you-go-
or-don' 't-go-p plan find it difficult when
they must ask for credit. The trou-
BILE is, they have done nothing to es-
tablish their credit This is partic-
ularly true in large cities where
ones habits are not we'll known, but
in small places reputation as cash
| customer soon gets to be common
property. At any rate it is good
plan to deal on credit for the sake
of the time when you may need &C.
commodation.
One Of the best known public &C
cOuntants in New York states that
early in life he saw the time coming
when he would need to borrow, and
con cluded to establish his credit be-
forehand. He knew that if he bor-
rowed and paid promptly, he would
soon have good credit, and six per
cent, for credit is cheap. And so he
opened bank account, got in favor
with his banker, borrowed but paid
punctually, until he was we'll re-
garded as a credit risk.
The time came when he needed
money to finance his undertakings,
and he found no trouble in getting
what he wanted, because he had es-
tablished himself as a safe borrower.
Guard your credit as you guard
your health. It will always be a
good friend to you and never desert
you. Borrow when you must but
pay as you agree-there is no other
way. Make your word as good as
your bond. Treat your debts as
sacred obligations. Don't "welch"
on your business transactions. Play
the man. Don't let the lender do
all the worrying over the debt, do
some yourself. Don't let it go at
that, but worry to certain result.
Don't think for moment your cred
itor has forgotten your debt, no mat
ter how old we never forget such
things.
When you must borrow, do not go
to your friends, but find some or
ganized agency (they exist in every
large city, that makes lending busi-
ness. If your proposition is good,
and you can qualify, you can get
your loan, and it will be a cold busi-
ness proposition, satisfactory to both.
Next to good bank account, good
credit is your best friend. Guard it
as such.
