this can be credited to the
fact that he seldom misses a
practice session on Friday
Nights.
Not only is he a good dan
Ger but also a good musician,
for Toncie plays Bugarija
with the Croatian Sons Tam
buritzans and is able to do
with this instrument what it
takes some tamburasi years
to master.
He is not restricted to the
tamburitza line though, for
he plays guitar with the
Moonlight Serenaders, Slove-
nian Orchestra of Cokeburg,
and here he also does a good
job. He is very able to play
all our tamburitza instru-
ments from brac to bass but
his favorite is the Bug.
From his activity you can
see why we are all justly
proud of Toncie and we hope
that now since he has joined
us in the senior ranks he will
remain as interested in all our
undertakings and especially
keep up the good work in our
cultural groups.
Sports Are His Hobby
The third new recruit who
has joined our ranks is bro
ther George Basara, son of
Martha and Rade Basara of
Cokeburg.
On his entrance in the Sem
ior Lodge, George joins his
sister and leaves behind him
in the Junior Nest his BROTH
er Ronald. Brother Basara
was born on June z, 1887, and
Joined our Junior Nest in De-
cember of 1888.
Brother Basara is one of
our sports-minded members
and is active in all sports
sponsored by the Lodge. He Is
one of the organizational
members of the Lodge Athle-
tic Club and in our Softball
Team he holds down the po-
sition as catcher.
During the summer months
you can find bro. Basara be-
hind the Croatian Home COM
peting in the Horse Shoe
Matches and here also he does
a very good job.
From the descriptions Of
our three new members you
can justly see why we are all
proud of them, sister Nance,
bro. Knaus and, bro. Basara.
We only hope that they will
remain as active in our Lodge
affairs as they have been in
the past and once again in be-
half of the officers and men,
bers of Lodge 354, I bid all
three of you welcome into our
Senior Lodge.

is not a suitable risk.
Basic Credit Categories
The three basic categories of
payment classifications are -
prompt, medium and slow. Prompt
pay is within 10 days after receipt
of statement, medium pay is into
the next 30 to go days, while
slow pay is 80 days after state
ment. Thus is can be seen that a
record of prompt pay is a highly
desirable asset.
Credit Is strictly a personal
thing that should be zealously
guarded as an adverse credit re-
cord can have far reaching eff.
fects on ones livelihood and
manner of living.
Bureaus Books and Ratings
The much referred to Yellow
and Blue Books are respectively
the published rating guides OF
Minneapolis and st. Paul. Most
cities OF some size have credit as
sociations and bureaus although
most of them do not publish
yearly rating guides. OF the so
odd rating guides published across
the United States, Minnesota pub
fishes about 20.
Throughout the States and
Canada, there are approximately
LOO credit bureaus, 46 of which
are located in Minnesota. When
some OF these came into being
around 1895. credit rating guides
were published in reverse, that is,

transfer OF goods.
IL Is the present right to goods
and services while deferring pay
ment until some future date. Since
all persons who want credit SER
vices are not acceptable to all
merchants. then we must discuss
the acceptable basis for credit ex-
tension.
Basis for Credit
First one popular misconception
must be clarified: that of Civ
ing or granting of credit" This
stems from the terms used by
credit men and managers in their
authorization Of accounts. II
must be firmly understood that
credit is not given or granted.
Credit Is possession that
everyone has In varying degrees,
Its limitations depending upon
It's user. The borrower or buyer
does not ask for credit. he offers
his credit and u Is either accept
ed OF rejected by the merchant
or lender.
The most important thing in
consideration Of whether an extern
sion Of credit be accepted or re-
jected is character. Retail credit
men want 10 know how stsunch
the applicant is behind the spph-
cation; whether an unwise buyer
or extravagant: whether honest or
entirely lacking In character. He
wants 10 know II the prospective
customer has the ability and the
means to pay and II he will pay;
when he will pay and II he can be
made 20 pay. This narrows down

No woman has such q win

who never thinks of herself as

I think this reader has
