CREDIT LOSSES
HALF BILLION
b. RICHARD HATTON

0y EyAGHA8ty hA4EUN
The Nations credit losses Of ali
binds IN 1925 were placed at approx
lmately $500. 100000 In d statement
made today by ]. II. Tregoe, ex-
boutive manager Of the National
association OF Credit Men. who
MD further that careful examinas
ton Of last years losses shows the
1893 total to be at least 500 900, 900
Under the 1926 figure.
Referring to the figures Of r. 6.
Dun e CO., who place the number
q last years commercial failures
21tT7S with q total Indebtedness
% 409.2S2,27S, Mr.. Tregoe said that
4 the compilations of mercantile
hgencies do not include 4 source OF
heavy failure losses In the handling
Of receivab1es.
This Ii the cost of collecting
slow accounts" he said. ut amounts
70 many millions annually; and
there IL also the loss occasioned by
throwing upon the market large
amounts Of distressed merchandise.
Mr.. Tregoe said that a great
many failures of 1926 were Of
small concerns which were edged
out by competition they could not
Withstand, or which hung on until
they went over the cliff"
The real lesson OF failure losses
IN 1885, he said, lis not the huge
total, but the fact that at least
5000, 100000 could have been saved
by the exercise Of preventive
tactics.
Until we think more of the tel
low who buys from us, and less Of
the goods we are selling, this pre-.
ventable loss will not be cut down;
and can't see the economy Of pro-
ducing and marketing goods when
no profits will be made: when, after
all. the y@erchandise will be thrown
on the market to circulate at dis
dressed prices and increase prcduc-
ton problems.
"The open account as a credit
instrument IL one OF the chief
causes Of our failure losses, because
1t IL not disable of itself except
when disposed Of at usurious fig.
ures.
There is every reason for our
production, marketing and credit
executives to ponder over our
monumental credit losses. But for
the credit technique observed by
many credit departments, and the
protection which we are constantly
throwing around receivables, the
Losses would be even more stagger-
ing.
I'm 1898 credit losses were an.
ercximately 100000, 900, and as we
have increased our commerce five
fold since that time, it can be
easily imagined what the losses
would be IL they had increased in
equal proportion. BY exercising
more prudence and more restraint,
u win be easy to cut down our
nredtt losses farther"

 Water was running low, the lights were all out and there Was no heat to cook with on the steamer Capt Livingston asked us how many we could take on the Explorer and if We thought we could get them safely to Campbell River We decided that we could take everybody but those who were to remain with the ship.

We stood by that night as did the two steamers and by Monday morning the storm had subsded and the skies were clearing. The same afternoon the Alameda, tw } large steam tugs and a barge ar rived. The Alameda took all the passengers from Campbell River and all but a few officers and some of the crew from the North western and left for Seattle.
 Holes in Hull
 Holes were noticeable in the bottom of the wrecked steamer. According to those on the boat, she struck very lightly. the i'm pact being similar to that made by striking log, officers on the boat said. The holes had been made by the waves lifting her up and dropping her back on the rocks time and again
 During Monday afternoon the tugs and barge were busy trans ferring other mail that had been saved and freight salyaged from the holds. That evening the skies were cloudless and the weather was turning colder, and as the two tugs and the barge intended to remain at the wreck, we left for Juneau. our work being com pleted'

The Explorer, Capt Magnus Hanson, halibut schooner of the Juneau fleet, which took all the passengers off the steamer North western last Sunday when the steamer went ashore at Cape Nudge, arrived in port this morn ing

 Homebound from Seattle, where 50.00o pounds of halibut, the las. catch of the season, had been sold. the Explorer ran into q blinding snowstorm early Sunday morning.
