 MT. Waynor has seen under his management the bureau grow from a small service in 1880 to one of importance to buyer and consumer in Alaska. MT. Waynor is credited -~ith opening the first service of its kind in the Territory, early in 193O, in Ketchikan. The offices were opened there to satisfy de- mand for correct credit reports The business prospered al d soon the ihitiator found a need for a central office, to better serve all of Alaska Almost three years ago, MT Waynor moved his office to Juneau. and established a central headquarters in the Valentine Build ing, on Seward Street.

 There is nothing restrictive in the notifications of the Alaska Credit Bureau, MT Waynor said, except to restrict bad debts. With the growth of sound credit, business will be increased, for more people will utilize their credit and use it prop erly.
 The policy, he said, is to encourage the broad use of credit that is con- sistent with sound business and the public welfare. The public becomes conscious also, that practices must be avoided which may impair the credit standing of the purchaser, he continued
 Part of the stipulated program of the Alaska Credit Bureau is to "edu- cate the public in the meaning and proper use of credit, to help toward the better understanding of credit, to encourage it's proper use, to dis courage it's overuse or abuse, and
