The still, sad music of humanity,
to which the labor movement marches,
is beginning to melt the hearts o.
men. It's principles, it's spirit are
finding able supporters and eXponents
everywhere. It's program is becom-

rises to the heights of bloom. Tits
leading doctrines are being spread to
and are being understoodby all the
world.
The American labor movement is a
living thing, with a soul and spirit
and a personality all its own. Those
that are weary and heavy-laden cast
their burdens upon, it, straighten
their bent back and ease their aching
muscles. In new-found freedom they
look up and see the higher levels and
nobler heights just beyond.
Men and women that hunger stretch
out their hands and receive that which
satisfies. AS the pangs fo distress
become less painful and the mind and
heart are freed from the pressing
burdens of a bare subsistence, they
turn to things more of the spirit.
Thus the labor movement in it's every

THE GARFIELD COUNTY
CREDIT ASSOCIATION
What It Is

Organized as clearing house Of
credit information and collections,
owned and operated by the business
and professional men Of Garfield and
adjoining counties in the interest of
better credit conditions in western
Colorado, trade territory.
Its purpose is to render a public
service that will be of mutual benefit
to debtor and creditor, through closer
interchange of credit information. This
is appreciated by people of RESPONSE
bility. 1t will shop up those who are
guilty of abusing credit, will grub the
facts as regarding persons who are
unable or unwilling to pay. Our rec
ords are corrected daily and free in
formation is furnished to the public
regarding changes of addresses, etc.
What It Is Doing
Writing in its files the credit his
tory of the buying public of Garfield
and surrounding counties. The work
OF recording the paying habits of the
people of these counties is now in
progress. At considerable expense We
are also recording the property rec
ords and other information which will
be of assistance to all who grant cred
1t. A complete record is being made
of every family in Garfield county
and ratings on these inhabitants are
now coming in from the business and
professional men, which are being cata-
logued and indexed ready for imme-
dlate use of its members, by expert
enced persons. Organizations for the
same purpose have been in operation in
other counties in Colorado and other
states for the past five years and have
proven of immense benefit to those
communities. This is not an expert
ment, but an extension of highly
successful system.
Have you been careless in some of
your obligations? If so, it is not too
late to improve your rating before it
is recorded by the bureau. Your credit
rating is what you make it. If you
have overlooked some of your obliga-
tions or for some good reasons have
been unable to- meet them as you
should have done, make it point to
see your creditor without delay, and
either settle your account or make def
mite arrangements to do 30. Your
merchant is now making up his list and
it must reach us before the end of the
month, SO act now. Did you ever stop
to think how seriously Indifference
and neglect of statements regarding
overdue accounts effects your credit
standing? If you cahnot remit when
payment is due, don't let your mer-
chant guess the reason; he may make
an unpleasant guess. Give him the
reason straight; he is entitled to that
consideration.
The association will issue rating
sheets and information bulletins week
ly, giving lists of unsatisfactory debt
ors, and these reports will reach prac-
tically every business man and profess
sional man in Garfield county, SO gen
eral is the membership at this time.
1t is the mission of the association
to make and keep every customer 's
credit good, and we ask your co.opera-
tion.
