ness to their own houses, or in the
loss of slow and doubtful account by
reason of action being taken quickly
by the firm receiving the information.
Finally a few men here and there
got together and formed associations
for the promotion of better methods In
the granting of credit. One object was
protection against fraud and injustice
on the part of some debtors, by the
dissemination Of credit information.
Another object was the passage of
laws Intended to prevent certain kinds
OF commercial fraud not provided for
in the statute books, such as the bulk
sales law, bad check law and false
statement act.
The Central West Virginia Associa-
ton Of Credit Men was organized In
November, 1914, and its work is mani
fest by the splendid increase In mem
bership. since Its organization, which
consists OF bankers, manufacturers and
jobbers in Clarksburg. Weston, Graf
ton. Belington, Elkins, FaiImont, Buck
harmon, huntsville and Sutton.
The credit interchange and adjust
ment bureau Of the association is one
of the principle features Of its work.
This bureau is maintained for the pur-
pose of collecting and classifying
credit information, and is now being
managed by U. R. Hoffman, former
superintendent OF the Bradstreet Com
pany office of this city, who took
charge April II.
The steady growth of this city In
population and commercial import
ance, is thus reflected in the progress
and enthusiastic spirit of the associa-
ton of credit men. The city should be
proud of this as vel las Of its other
business organizations, and see to 1t
they are kept alive by showing an in
terest in their welfare, which is the
welfare of the city itself.
June 10 to Is the national associa-
ton OF credit men hold their annual
convention in Pittsburg. where repre-
sentatives from every state in the
union will gather to discuss credit and
other business problems and condi-
tions. The Pittsburg association has

members In the leading hotels of Pitts

stop the hand of fraud before its plan
shall reach accomplishment; to serve
with patience and with diligence; and
TO champion the cause of "Construc-

with a membership OF sixty-one. An
i other campaign has been started to
terminate May 81, with the object of
having seventy-five by that time.
The association of credit men, both
national and local, probably is as little
understood by the average person as
any organization in existence. Less
than twenty years old, and starting
with very small membership, less
than 600 in 1896, the national associa-
