CREDIT GUIDE TO APPEAR SOON.
Local Merchants Will Know Who
Pays Their Bills Promptly.

r DO you pay Your bills promptly? or
are You fair pay? or are you slow
payg or do you pay at all? These,
questions, along with numerous 9TH
ers, will be answered for Sumter mer-'
chants and business and professional
men by a Credit Experience Guide or
Rating Book which will Soon be issu-
ed. 1t has been unanimous on the
part of the merchants to adopt the
credit rating system of the Merchants
Mercantile Agency of Pittsburgh, Pa,
publishers of the Credit Experience
Guide, as an official rating system for
the merchants of Sumter.
The system is not a new one or un-
tried, but has been established
throughout the country for the last
twenty-five years. 1t is used from
Maine to- Florida and from ocean to
ocean. In some States every hamlet
Is organized under this system, and
1t is acknowledged by the leading
business men of the country to be a
perfect one and will be q benefit to
all to have it in operation here.
Messrs. w. p. Henry and d. w.
Kerr have been in this State and
North Carolina for the last twelve
months representing tho Mcfchants'
Mercantile Agency. organizing the
business and professional men in this
system. The work is being pushed in
fifteen counties of South Carolina.
Over one thousand business men of
the State have joined this movement,
and it is expected within the next year
or two every city and hamlet will be
using this system for bcttering trade
conditions.
The work is made up in districts.
The local district will embrace Sum
ter, Lee and Clarendon counties In
Charleston, where the work is being
completed, over three hundred bust
ness men co-Operated. Already over
thirty-fve Sumter merchants have
joined hands in the movement, and
the representatives will remain here
until every business and professional
man has been seen. Those approach
e. have beer enthusiastic about the
work.
