The Reciprocal Value OF
A Signed Statement

Good credit in the markets OF the
world enables the merchants to add
to his ability to do business. 1t
gives him the use OF enlarged CAP
ital, thus enabling him to carry
more complete stock, increase his
sales and magnify his profits.
Large assets are not always
necessary to the creation of credit:
what is more desirable is that
credit be in relative proportion to
the actual assets and in harmony
with conditions which create and
maintain it. A merchants capital
is the sum of his net available re-
sources. plus his credit. The giver
Of credit is contributor Of capital.
and becomes, in a certain sense, q
partner Of the debtor. and as such
has a perfect right to complete in
formation of the debtors condition
at all times.
Credit is given merchant be-
cause Of the confidence reposed in
him. Requesting statement
when credit is asked is not ref1ec-
ton ON ones character, honesty, or
business ability, but is done to Sc
cure information to enable business
to be conducted intelligently.
When a statement is made it
should be absolutely correct. To
make it so necessitates the taking
of at least an annual inventory and
the keeping of an accurate set of
books. Statement giving, therefore
will tend to make a debtor a better
buyer because more familiar with
his stock, more careful in giving
credit, more conservative in incur
ring debt, and will result in a bet
ter knowledge Of his business gen.
orally.
A merchant who desires to serve
his own best interest should reco-
gnize that his most valuable pos
session, apart from his actual assets
is a sound. substantial and unques-
toned reputation as a credit risk,
and that, under the prevailing con-
ditions and demands of business
the most effective. and eminently
the best. way to prove his basis for
credit is to be willing to submit q
statement of his financial condition.
