Getting Credit
Depends On
Past Record
By SOPHIE IRENE LEOB

A Middle-Aged man, with a consid-
cradle family, has just started
again in business, after two fail
ures. He has gone into bankruptcy
twice, yet the same people who trusted
him before are ready to give him all
the credit he wants to start again.
/ discussed this matter with one of
his creditors who had lost by the mans
business disasters. He spoke something
like this: nj, 70
'It would be against my better self
to refuse that man credit. He is as hon.
est as the day is long. He is as fair
and square a man as / ever met in
my life. He has just been unfortunate
and met with reverses.
circumstances were such that he
could do nothing different, and most
of the people who were willing to con-
sign-goods to him are ready to do it
again. 1t is because he has never failed
to put his cards right down on the table
and tell all of his assets and liabili-
ties. He is good risk.
MANY business man gives credit to
a person and quakes in his boots lest
he won't pay his bills; but we know
that as long az this man has cent
he will do his utmost to meet his
obligations, and We, are confident he
is going to make a big success this
time.
His dealings are always straight
forward. He never bites off more than
he can chew, and he is such a likable
individual that one cannot refuse to
back him up in all his trials"
He went on to tell that there were
many men in the commercial game in
the same position that, is, they could
get credit all the time because they
respected it and held. it above anything.
He told how there were so many
people who thought only of themselves
when crash came. They forget those
who have befriended them and taken
care of them and carried them through
difficult times. Therefore, when this
kind Of a person meets with diaster, he
generally finds himself very much alone.
But there is the occasional one who
forever commands consideration because
of his everyday dealings and his man
to-man attitude in business.
The same holds true in social life.
If you keep your word and make your
promises good, your credit becomes ace
high. People depend on you. They know
what you will do in most any circum-
stance.
There is nothing in the world so vital
and so advantageous as having good
credit. As has been wisely said. "a
good name is rather to be chosen than
great riches" For you may lose your
wealth, and then you are poor indeed.
But If you have built up good
name that stands for honesty and sta
bility, no matter how far down you
get there is always some one to come
forward and aid you in time of trouble
The way to build up good credit is
to keep your word in your everyday
relationships, no matter how trivial
they may seem.
A mans word should be as good as
his bond. 1t is the highest kind of credit.

When a man fails nowadays in
business, we don't waste any SYM
pathy on him. Too bad, of course,
but we know that if he has any

tune. He will pick himself up,

he will probably make more money

A Good Tip

A Good Tip
</TNRY AND forget me; I'm not
90 worth caring for. 1t would be
better for you if you had never
met me-" was the note written by a
confidence man to woman who was
in love with him.
At the same time she did not know
he was a confidence man and the little
note did not accomplish its purpose.
She did not believe he was not worth
caring for and was probably tenderly
touched by his self-depreciation. If
she had known more of human nature
or been wiser in her judgment of men,
the little note would have told her
much.
It would have warned her he was get
ting tired of her-that there was prob
ably a great deal of truth in his esti-
mate of himself.
Better to forget me-" from man or
woman means that love is on the wane
If it is truthfully said. No one who
loves wishes to be forgotten. 1t is an
easy and flattering way of saying the
affair has gone on long enougt-the
one who is tired wishes to be free.
It IS true that a man deeply in love
NAV feel he is not entirely worthy of
the woman he cares for, but if a man
solemnIy says when he is sober-that
he is not worth caring for, the chances
are largely in favor of the statement
being correct.
Normal, well-balanced people are
quite sure they are worth caring for.
They would only suggest otherwise in
the hope Of being politely contradicted.

do not wish to be taken literally.

were esteemed an ornament to women.

trouble, we never trouble until
