The Basis Of Wealth to Credit
By William E. Barton

And every one Of these men would

You could take it to the bank and
get gold for it,
If 1 were to make out a check for
$4,000, there is not a man in town
who would give you 25 cents for it.
for they would all think It a forgery,
or else that 1 had gone crazy
But my check for $40 is just as
good as that of John D. Rockefeller.
on occasion I can issue a somewhat
larger check.
l am more proud Of my CONNER
cial rating than mos. people suspect
II gives me a great deal of satisfac-
ton TO think that there is not a man
on earth who has any of my paper
overdue and unpaid.
That being true, and having
health and ability to earn enough TO
meet my bills, and habits Of economy
which keep my expenses within my
income, I deny with some emphasis
the accusation of BEING a pocr man.

I recently attended a convention
where were assembled men Of influ-
ence in various activities. CONNER
cial and industrial, of a large state.
Among the speakers whom / heard
was one who had been travelling
over the state visiting the various
associations OF commerce These
were for the most part in the larger
towns and cities. and I think he said
that there were in that state as many
as IS Of them.
This was the thing that impress9d
me most: He said that nearly every
one OF those organizations had un-
dergone an actual or virtual reor-
ganization in recent years.
He said there was time when IL
was thought the chief reason for
associations Of commerce was 70

You Will look in vain for my rat
ing in Dun or Bradstreet. In my
own town, whatever celebrity have
attained is not based on my financial
status. Yet I should like TO tell you
that l am a man of some financial
consequence.
There is a bank which cOurteously
furnishes me with a book of partly
printed forms, which my signature
can transform into something as
good as money.
If I were 10 fill out one of these
check blanks with your name and
the amount Of $40. you could take
that check to any man in my town
who has anything to sell. and he
would give you $40 worth of dry
goods or groceries or hardware, and
take the check as readily as if it
were money.
You could take 1t TO the city hall
and pay your taxes with il.
You could endorse it TO the collec-
tor Of internal revenue. and he would
credit il on your income tax.
