Business Failures

The commercial failures record as
reported to Dun & Company during
1925 on the surface makes the past
year stand out as a rather unfavorable
one. From the standpoint of a number
Of failures, so high total was only
reached in two preceding years, 1915
and 1922. For the full calendar year
the number of commercial failures re-
ported was 21,214 compared with 30
615 in 1924 and 1878 in 1923.
On the other hand the falling off in
the total amount of liabilities involved
in the failures to the lowest figure
shown by any since 1920 apparently
indicates the country's generally sound
credit situation last year.
There were 500 more mercantile de-
faults last year compared with 1924
with the largest relative increase in
the New England states, the percent
age of increase there being % per
cent For the Pacific Coast States it
was nearly 20 per cent higher, while
for the Central Eastern States the in
crease in the number Of failures
amounted to only 81 per cent. For all
other sections there were fewer fail
ures last year than in 1922. The same

Money Rates and Bankers.
When the Babsonchart stands high
above normal, AS at present. IL per
cent. it is usually a sign that money
rates will strengthen. Even though
the upward movement may not be pro
nounced, it will help the banks which
for some time have been suffering
from low money rates. The average
business man thinks that banker
has an easy time, but such is not the
case. Not only must he continually
he on the watch to avoid losses: but
when deposits are large, he can only
with difficulty loan them, and call
money rates are low.
On the other hand. when loans are
in deman nd and rates are high he can
not get deposits. Yes, next to the
preachers and doctors, the bankers
are the most useful men in our com
munities. Let us see that they are
appreciated.

Moreover. such foresighted men will

OF course it takes much selfcontrol

YOUNG MEN URGED TO OPEN BANK
ACCOUNTS TO BUILD UP CREDIT
Roger Babson Names Vital Factors i'm Establishing
Thrift and Important Contacts-More Than One
Bank Connection Held Desirable.

Although bank will not refuse a
not expect to acquire much of a
credit, upon which some day to bor-
row, unless his account is profitable.
Therefore. all depositors should be
urged TO carry good accounts. Don't
be Stingy with a bank. Remember
that some day it may be your best
friend. If you wish to use the bank
later. allow ii to make money on youi
business now. BE broad gagged and
don't sharpen the pencil too fine; but
remember the man who held the.
penny SO near his eve that he shut
from view the entire world. Remem-
Der how the farmer must spend money
on seed and dressing: how the ply
stefan must spend years on study and
practice. Remember that credit, like
everything else that is good; cannot be
obtained quickly or for nothing. but
has its price. Good oaks take time to
grow. So does good credit Never
blame banker for not loa ming YOU at
the start.
Other Important Reasons.
But there are other reasons why
young men should open bank accounts.
II is very advisable to pay bills by
by having an automatic receipt, but
it makes a good impression on the
merchant to receive check from a
young man. 1t shows merchant
that his customer has a bank account.
and thus the young man indirectly
establishes credit with the merchant.
Having bank accounts enables one to
quickly cash checks. remit money,
give references. and serves a host of
other purposes in addition to aiding in
the establishment of a credit.
Bankers are very helpful in advising
their customers concerning the pur-
cha sing of securities and the extension
of credits. You need not ask bank
whether such an investment is good
or not; but you can ask it If the bank
would be willing to buy it or loan
upon it. If not, better let it alone.
Banks know the standing of all local
people and can easily get reports for
customers on people out of town.
don't know of any kind of business
concern which gives so much free but
valuable service as the modern bank.
Especially Desirable Today.
A good bank account is always de.
sirable. but especially so today. Now
when so many are Scrambling for
stocks. land and certain commodities,
one can perform the greatest service
by liquidating these possessions which
are so popular and storing up cash

| To establish a credit man must
begin early in life. The man who has
not established a credit before he is
| 30 is greatly Handicapped. Therefore,
as bank accounts are the best means
of creating such a credit. young men
should open accounts just as early in
life as possible To buy even a share
of stock before having two bank ac-
counts is a vital mistake. Some think
that if they have property, they can
readily obtain loan from bank
whether or not they have ever been
customer of bank. This is mis-
taken idea.
Advice to Young Men.
When money is abnornlaHv p,ent,-
full. any man with property may doubt
less be able to borrow on security
from some bank of which he is not
regular depositor. but such is the ex-
ception. Moreover. at such times
man does not usually need TO borrow.
because when money is cheap. either
all customers are promptly paying
their bills, or else business is so de-
pressed that there is little object for
one to borrow The average man is
most anxious for money when rates
are high and banks have little or none
to lend. 1t is then that the banks
limit their loans to customers, and.
furthermore loan first to those who
have been the longest and most re-
liable customers. Therefore, every
Young man should be urged to use his
very first savings for the establish
ment of savings account and to
open a checking account before buy
ing a share of stock or any other
property.
Friendliness Urged.
Credit to large extent means
Favorable acquaintance" The de
positor who calls at the bank only
once year has not such good "credit"
as the one who calls each month. Bet
\ ter still. the young man who is paid
weekly should call once a week and
deposit his salary in the checking &C
count of a local bank. When depos-
iting said salary, he sould speak
pleasant word to the teller, and grad
ually acquire the good will and friend
ship of the officers and directors.
Once a month or once a quarter
whenever interest goes on deposit In
the savings bank-he should withdraw
from his checking account upon
which he prOba bly, Is not receiving IN
teresU such portion as he desires to
deposit in his savings account in
another bank. This enables young
man to call at the commercial bank
once a week. and at the savings bank
once a month or so, and thus grad
ually acquire the acquaintance and
good will of both institutions, which
means credit
The young man. however. must not
be content with simply opening two
accounts as early as possible and sys-
tematically making deposits therein.
but he must have these accounts of
a size to be worth while. The average
depositor fails TO realize that many
accounts today show our banks dis

bank does not refuse them is because
the officers hope that some day they
will be large enough to be profitable.

WEST ORANGE. N. j., October 21
To-day was the forty-seventh birth
day Of the electric light. Thomas A
Edison, who invented it, is convinced
that his invention blazes the way tc
universal peace.
This invention has not led to war,
he said. Invention has produced a
reasoning and a questioning age. Peo
pie are becoming, because of the
change brought about by invention
more intelligent and will not stand for
exploitation by emperors and kings
and societies. There is more reason.
ing and questioning today than ever
carding those things which in the
past have been breeders of war and
oppression:
THE field is unlimited. If I were
to begin my career over again I would
turn to electric light, heat and chem
ical reactions. The young man SO in
clined should have no hesitation in
taking up invention as profession, If
one has the imagination and will to
work.
Recalls Initial Steps.
Mr.. Edison, stopped by age. care

dropping from the lapel Of his old
Office coat. took time from his work
a rarely granted privilege, to recall
the days that followed his discovery
that a loop of carbonized sewing
thread. sealed in bulb from which
the air had been pumped and con-
nected with electric current, would
burn for 48 hours.
On New Years eve. 1879. he re-
members 3,c00 persons travelled to
Menlo Park to view the amazing rew
lamp from which developed one of the
worlds greatest industries, but it was
not until 1882 that the first central
generating station. on Pearl street.

Much has been done since that day
