Local Banker Makes Inter esting Address on Credit Situation and Plans of
 Modern Financing

K. w. Berry, vice president of the First
 National Bank and trust officer of that

 terday afternoon at the regular weekly meeting of the Associated Retail Credit Men of Birmingham. at the Civic As sociation. and delivered an interestins address on the subject of Permanent
 Financing. dealing with the eredN sit
 uation and other phases of modern
 financing activities.
 " Just at present, as the imitation of prices is uppermost in our minds" he said i've talk almost constantly of the period of depression or deation of prices which we all feel is ahead of us or which we now feel we are passing through. This imitation of prices is per haps primarily traceable to credit ina ! tion, which, as you know, may be brought
 about in either of three ways-by paper money or currency infla ton. gold infla'
 ton. or credit irritation.
 | sWe have had currency inf1auoT 1 brought about to some extent though the Tissue of federal reserve notes.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

'The. present foreign exchange situation
 may be traced largely to credit It is the
 imitation of credit in foreign countries and
 the lack of foreign credits in this coun-
 try with which to procure dollar ex-
 change that is largely responsible for the
 present condition of continental exchange.
 Credits however, may be looked ot
 from another point of view-as temporary
 and permanent credits, bank credits anu
 open accounts. with which you deal 10
 some extent as temporary credits ln
 bank credits the borrower iss furnisneu
 finds for sixty or ninety days to enable him to carry a stock and move II, or " tide him over a temporary shortage ot funds. That type of credit is based not so much on real security as on moral risk and the character of the borrower, that is whether the borrower has real nlan which will enable him otake care ! of the loan when it comes due anu and whether his position is such that ne will very likely be able to carry out the nlan Your open accounts are tempoV- arv credits permitted largely for the Convenience of customers.

INDUSTRIAL FINANCING

.Judustry financing of semi-permahent tvne is of more recent origin. Prior to the war there was practically none o. # done The reason for that IS oo~ vious when you stop to consider. Tne industry concern has very little o( its resources represented by fixed physicai properties, the bulk of it's assets are a moving stream made up of raw ma terial working process and financial prou- .;cts Ordinarily its needs are for tenn porary financing, to enable 1t to carry q stock of raw materials or to enapIe IL to hold temporarily supply Of ilhishsu products until an opportune time arises for moving it. financing in the sense in which the tern is ordinarily used. The utility company differs from the ordinary industrial com pany. in that it serves something which under our present standards of living has hecome a necessity. The laws of prac-
 tically all our states establish utility com
 missions and provide that where utli- ity company is established in field, no
 other Is permitted to enter that heiu
 and compete with it. In working up n utility issue there are several featurns which must always be considered-name- |ly fhe property value, the territory
 served. the earnings of the company ana
 the franchise and management of the
 company"

If you are nervous, pale, ener- vated and lack energy, your blood is thin and impoverished. It needs more oxygen to vitalize it and stimulate the circulation through out your entire body. Lack of oxy- gen in the blood always cAuooo . lack of energy and strength.
 If there is not a sufficient supply of oxygen in the blood-circulation slows down-the heart action slack ens-the nerve cells do not receive proper nourishment and every organ of the body becomes sluggish and inactive. Oxygen electrifes the blood d-revitalizes it, and makes it rich, red and healthy.
