Other local projects recently com
pleted include: a big substation on
Northern Avenue, which will supply
the Northern section of the city and
Fountain Head Heights; and another
substation on Virginia Avenue,
which will supply power to the rap
idly growing Halfway area.
r. Paul Smith, president of the

growth, new government activities,
the housing boom and increasing
farm use of electricity have made
these and other new installations
throughout the PIE system necessary.
He also stated that $7,OOO,0OO was

History Of Credit
Dun And Bradsreet Film,
MANS Confidence In Man,
Shown At Meeting OF Club.

A movie film, Mans Confidence
In Man." which tells the story of the
part credit has played through the
years in developing the industry
and business of the nation was
shown to the members at the reg
ular luncheon meeting Of the XII
wants Club, held at the Hotel AIex-
ander on Thursday.
The film was presented by Dun
/ and Bradstreet and before its show
ing William Bodgett, district sales
manager of the Baltimore office. was
introduced and made few remarks
He was accompanied by Charles S.
SklIIen, the firms sales and service
representative in this district.
The program was arranged by the
Bulletin Committee, of which Park
10y is chairman, and President AL
bert M. Long presided. Guests at
the luncheon were: Commander
Charles M. Cassel, U. S. Navy; D. E.
Hess, Gettysburg, Pa; Roger c. Rob-
inson and Christy McEwen, Hagers-
town; and Kiwanian Paul Husson
York, Pa.
The film explained the problems
of the merchandiser in the early
years of the nations development
with regard to credit, which result
ed in the first mercantile or credit
agency being established in 1871
when a group of New York mer-
chants, who had suffered heavy
losses through extending credit
without proper references, banded
together and agreed to set I'D an
independent agency that would sup
ply them with reliable credit infor-
nation.
Out of this small beginning grew
the present nationally known credit
firm.
