II IL the present right TO goods
and services while defcrrinE pay.
mcnt until some future date Since
all persons who want credit ser
vices are not acceptable 10 all
merchants. then we must discuss
the acceptable basis for credit ex-

can be made to pay, This narrows
down to the fact that character is
a fundamental upon which all legi-
innate business dealings are bas-
ed.
Credit Bureaus
Another misConCeption has TO
be clarified here: the belief that
credit bureaus affect the credit
ratings. Credit associations and
bureaus exist only for collection
and dissemination OF available in
formation, Whatever payment re-
cord an individual has established
becomes a part OF his file and
member merchants have access 10
his credit classifications. There
fore. IL a credit applicant is re-
tected by n merchant after con-
ulting the bureau, II Is not be-
cause Of any devious schemes. but
rather that his record indicates he
IL not a suitable risk.
Basic Credit Categories
The three basic categorics Of
payment classifications are --
prompt, medium and slow Prompt
pay IL within 10 days after re-
ccipt Of statement, medium pay Is
into the next 30 TO 80 days, while
slow pay Is 90 days after state
ment. Thus II can be seen that a
record OF prompt pay is a highly
desirable asset.
Credit II strictly n personal
thing that should he yralously
guarded as an adverse credit re
cord can have far reaching ef-
+. fects on ones iiviihood 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 SEe have credit as
soCiatinns and bureaus although
most Of them DO not publish year
Is rating guides OF the so odd
rating guides published across the
United States. Minnesota pub
fishes about 20.
Throughout the States and
Canada Their are approximately
100 credit bureaus, IS Of which
are located in Minnesota. When
some Of these came into being
around 1908, credit rating guides
were published in reverse. that is
only the known bad risks were in
the book and enc was assumed "a
have acceptable credit II he was
not listed.
To-day, using as an example, a
radius Of - miles from downtown
Minneapolis. which comprises q
population Of $4,000 individuals
and firms for rating purposes
the yellow Book publishes i.isi.
600 ratings OF the number al
ratings. approximately So or

Nome From Pt. Barrow

Russell Hermann, district at
torney, returned Friday from Pt.
Barrow where he has been in

the liquor to be consumed at the
dance halls they operated.

jail, with filters borrowed from
the hospital for beds.

The narrowing experience, that

This is the story he told:
