TT has been aptly said that the banker
/ is not a last resort but hrst
resource. He likes to get in at the

Therefore, it is well to cultivate
your banker that he may be familiar

begin early to lay good credit founda-

Immediately.
A banker assumes three risks when
he grants a loan.
First, the moral risk-one's char
acter, the way man has lived and has
met his obligations has first consldera-
ton.
Second, the business risk-capacity.
That is the ability with which he
manages his affairs, his grasp of his
business and its opportunities, his sue
cess in turning over his goods, and the
economy with which he runs his
business.
Third, tbs, property risk-his fnan-

For some reason the food down here

though we cdbk it ourselves Take
beans, for instance; they are small and

pork is. Ask for pork and they give

product-these are important factors.
A summary Of qualifications has been
stated in these words: ''He has credit
who has a wide margin Of surplus; who
keeps it in liquid form; who takes care
of his character; who never breaks
promise, gives value for what he
receives, and never speculates.
AS the bank assumes the risk OF the
repayment of loans, and as it is vitality
essential that it keep its own assets IN
liquid form, it must exercise the
greatest caution in granting loans or
fixing credit lines.
Furthermore, it is responsible to the
community for keeping a proper bal
ance between production and dlstrlbu-
ton. That is the more reason for dis
elimination in apportioning the com
munity's reserve funds in proper chan
nels.
As almost every successful business
concern or farm has occasion to use It's
credit in meeting its opportunities, a
bank encourages the building of credit
By this we do not mean that credit
should be sought right now, but that
one should put himself in position to
borrow for profit at the proper time.

FIVE POINTS STARS
FIRST ANNIVERSARY

The Five Points Star is one year
old today. From a little beginning
we are hoping for continued growth
and influence in the community where
we have established ourselves. The
Star is now equipped for all kinds
of commercial work, most of which
has been accomplished since it's es-
tablishment here at Five Points a
year ago. There is a positive saw
ing to our patrons on everything
turned out of this Office by compari-
son of existing prices. The Star
office has had hard times to contend
with all along. There was forceful
disposition at first to prevent compe-
tition in advertising and printing by
few ill-advised local publishers and
printers, as there is at first in every
line of business in the Capitol City.
But this is past, and recognition
for the Five Points Star as a news
paper publishing and printing house
has now found universal acknowledge
ment by the most prominent business
firms in the city. For this era of
good feeling we are much indebted
to the people, residents and business
men of Five Points, who have been
our friends and contributed much to-
wards our success.
In this connection we wish to point
to the Importance and recent perma-
nent growth of Five Points and it's
environs, which extend westward to
Six Points, where little city is also
in the making.
In this area are noticeable the many
industrial enterprises already estab-
lished: Approaching Five Points
able the high smokestacks of two of
the largest steam laundries in the
State, who hire a small army of en-
ployees. Then there are the manu-
featuring plants of the Arizona Ma
chinery Co., the immense fuel and
ice depots of four of the largest con-
Germs in the city Add to this the
refining plants of the Standard Oil,
Apache Oil, Shell Oil, Rio Grande and
Texaco companies, and one gets a
faint idea of Five Points and all the
western part of Phoenix. as a grow
ing, pulsating business center.
Here, too, are the marble and mon
umental industries of Phoenix, ce-
ment and tiling factories for manufac-
ture of building blocks, sewer drain
and irrigation pipe works, sheet met
al works, the great milling plant and
lumber yards of the Halstead Lumber
Company, with builders and shelf
hardware of all kinds. The O. S..
Stapley Co., right at Five Points, is
the largest farming implement house
in the Valley with a big branch at

FACTORS THAT
DESTROY THE
CITY GROWTH.

1t is one of those strange ailments
which invites newcomers to a town
and after they get there warns 'em
they must not engage in cutting prices
and competitive pursuits, or the
whole fraternity will oppose them
Competition is too often throttled by
combinations in trade and business.
1t is only necessary to point at the
local theatrical and amusement pro-
fession where all the theaters Eek
cept one small movie show are con-
trolled by one syndicate.
For over 20 years the twin dailies
of Phoenix have successfully kept out
daily newspaper competition. The
Republican and Gazette fishing pools
are the only publicity pools where
the average business man may dare
to angle for trade in the city with
out danger of influential pressure.
But these pools are getting muddy
and pretty we'll fshed out. When
business fishermen try different pools
with the proper advertising bait, they
will get country trade that will help
Phoenix grow into a 100000 popula-
ton. These facts are given to point
out some of the conditions which
keep the most important city of the
Southwest from growing.
The usual society and fraternal
drives conducted against business
houses of the city to raise $4,000 or
100000 as an advertising fund for
foreign magazines, illustrates how
bare of results are the twin dailies
Of this city. That money would be
ample to establish another daily pa
per in Phoenix that might be owned
and become a profitable venture to
it's business investors. 1t would soon
become another community growth
factor, every day, to give Phoenix
publicity and boost the city and val
ley as prominent business center,
inviting more population.
But the Star is shining and swiftly
attaining recognition and prominence
because of fixed purpose to compete
for business, rather than combine for
restraint and control of trade. Many
business houses, once closed in PhOe
nix, remain proverbially closed by
rent hogs" for long time before
they are reopened by new tenants.
The reason is apparent. Business is
not inviting any more competition,
but. is too easily misled to combina-
tion in restraint of more business.
Arizona state miner., 1925-11-07

Mesa. But time and space forbids
but mere mention of these promi-
nent business firms who are respon-
s1ble for the growth of Five Points
and all western Phoenix that is
gradually growing into a section
where splendid churches and quarter
of-a-million dollar school houses are
making history and adding a popula-
ton that is the life giving principal
OF any prosperous community.
OF course, the Star and other ma.
pers issued from it's Office will ever
reflect the trade activity with the
farmers and rural residents that
make Five Points Saturday mar
keting place where congregate visi-
tors from the north, south and west
who come to get their supplies.
One of the advantages of plenty
parking space at Five Points will
ever keep it as logical trade center
for the country folks who always find
a welcome that means bargains to
the purchasers.

ARIZONA DRUGGISTS
WANT THE RIGHT TO
PRESCRIBE LIQUOR

The third annual convention of the
Arizona Pharmaceutical Association
at Yuma centered upon drive to
have the Arizona liquor law so amend
ed as to permit the sale of liquors by
medical prescription as is allowed un-
der the Thirteenth amendment and
the Volstead Act.
The old dry law of the state does
not permit the sale, or transportation
or manufacture of intoxicating liquors
under any circumstances or for any
purposes, although it does not pro-
hibit simple possession.
Harry Martin of Phoenix, secretary
of the Association Against the Prohi-
bition Amendment, Arizona Division,
stressed the Importance of united
move in this direction.
Charles Frederick of Prescott urged
that the association proceed warily in
recommending new state legislation
of any kind.
Crouch of Douglas recommended a
drive to enforce the law prohibiting
the sale of medicines by grocers and
merchants other than druggists, en-
phasizing the public danger in such
practice H L. Boehmer of Phoenix
spoke in favor of an organized drive
against "cut-rate" stores.
