Credit collections in Washing
ton took a slight dip for April
latest available figures - John
Althaus, general manager of the
merchant-owned Credit Bureau,
Inc, 1921 G street NV, said
today.
The fact Easter came early
this year may be a factor in this,
he said, with people buying too
much and paying too little.
But Mr.. Althaus said collec-
tons in Washington are gen.
orally good over a period of years
land continue to be so.
The Credit Bureau is afford
ing its clients a new service
designed to aid in collecting bad
checks. This form is sent the
person whose check came back.
1t says unless it is paid in five
days a copy of the notice will be
sent to the Credit Bureau. On
the back of the notice to the
check writer are printed laws
of the District. Maryland and
Virginia, with penalties. This is
designed to persuade the person
to pay UP without delay.
Mr.. Althaus said at the con-
vention of the Associated Credit
Bureaus Of America, to be held
at st. Louis, starting June 10,
ways and means will be discussed
to speed up the granting of credit
and cut cost.
He said. '"They say it is time
for change in retail credit au-
thorization. There are several
reasons for this. The person who
wants to buy something or con-
tract a loan of money is begin
ming to feel that a favorable
answer should be made immedi-
ately. Students of today's meth
DDS feel they are laborious and
costly. Those who extend credit
desire to do il without delay and
will look with favor on any plan
for improvement of service and
reduction in cost.
