LATIN REPUBLICS TAKE
UP US. TRADE METHODS
Business Interests Working to
Organize System Of Credit
Information.

The trade campaign Of the United
States in South America has already
made an impression on business organiza-
ton there, according to an article in tho
current issue OF the National City Banks
the Americas. our dollar exchange
and the establishment in South America
OF some OF the methods used in the
United states In obtaining credit in
formation, II Is expected, will have a
permanent influence in promoting the
trade OF this country with the Latin re-
pubIics. The article reads in part;
"tredit information in South America
was heretofore largely "A matter OF hear
say and general reputation. The good
south American men Of business main
tain a high standard OF honor and re-
sponsibility carried out in the details OF
business which vs. In this country can
none too highly praise and emulate.
"In "A way. the fact that the talk OF
business circles establishes a mans
crcdi; rating makes hin punctilious.
business credit Is also a matter 81 family
concern in South America. Rather than
that Il man shall be delinquent. his rela-
,ives and their friends all form IA com
mittee and take charge OF his affairs.
The credit of such men is all right. hut
the system Of Information was one very
difficult for United states business and
banking methods to work in with closely.
Because the bud element that Is always
present in business communities Is In
South America just as bad as the gosd
element is good. And one OF the prob
lens OF getting into better touch with
South American business was to find out,
surely and readily, who was who.
