THEY'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER.
When you open a new charge ac
count and the store lets yots go ou
with your purchases the same day, i
is not because the credit manager is a
discerning gentleman who knows an
honest face. Whil"e you were waiting
he communicated by telephone, telatr-
tograp'h or teletype with a central ag-
ency and obtained a report which con-
vinced him of 'your in'tegr'ity and abil-
ity to pay:
That agency is one of '12100 local
credit 'bureaus in the United States
and Canada, and it is associated with
others throughout the world. So thor-
oughly co-ordinated are the bureaus
that former residents of .Sydney, Aus-
tralia,'or Rio de Janeiro, can open
charge' accoti'nts in Detroit or San
Francisco as easily as if they had al-
ways lived there. How well the sys-
tem works may be seen from the fact
that ,department stores lose less than
half of one percent on charge ac-
counts..,
Few people know much about the
credit ,bureaus that know so much
about then. It is more than likely
that on one of 'the bureaus' 50,000;000
master cards there is full information
about you and your acquaintances; in-
formation that your seemingly sub-
stantial cousin has half a dozen delin-
quent accounts; that the young cou-
ple who put up. such a big front next•
door are without resources; that Mrs,
Smith has an, independent income;
that the bachelor who was so atten-
tive to your sister last summer is a
married man With two children.
Credit bureaus neither snoop gra- 1
tuitously nor pass moral judgments.
But it's their job to discover and pass e
on to their members—merchants, s
thanks, hotels, ,professional men air
others In a hundred lines of activity—
t everything that gives' an indication o
t your capacity and willingness to 'tak
care of your bills. And that include
your character and mode of .life a
well as your income.
An inquiry into your rating may beprompted by any of a dozen reasons
Financial staters can alter almost of
ernig-ht, and Some stores are so cau-
tious in granting,creditthat they or-
der a special report every time there
is a change ni address. In most cases
the subject does not even 'know that
an 'investigation is going on.
Every possible source of informa-
tion is used to keep this great refer-
ence library of personalities alive. The
newspapers in'y^our town are scanned.
So are trade journals. Variety, maga-
zine' of 'time theatrical people, is a gold
mine of data for ;New York and Los
Angeles. 'Every ,olipping, favorable or
unfavorable, that night affect an indi-
v'icltral's capacity to pay is cut out and
pasted on a card. However solitary
you may be, your death will not pass
unnoticed. 'I'1 you leave over $11000,
that news will the added to the cards
of your ;beneficiaries; if hitherto
they have had no cards, they will ac-
quire them.
Some 'bureaus immediately report
unpleasant inforrnafion to all memb-
ers interested. If your account at one
store is in the hands of an attorney,
you cannot trade with others in the
happy assurance that your credit is
still as good as gold.
The bureaus circulate weekly 'bul-
etins listing names 'followed by such
tents as: %'A member advises '15y tel -
phone that a man representing him -
elf as the above presented a check
or 1115 'drawn on the First National
Bank, If was returned, ''Na Ac-
oust'." "Before granting credit to' 'th'e
f above, communicate with the Biur-
e eau. "A metniber reports Mr. X
s writes,. 'I wish to retain my personal
s charge account, but hereafter assume
no responsibility for purchases made
by my wife, " (Mr, X subsequently
. smoothed out his domestic difficu'(ties,
and this, too, 'rias •duly noted on his
and his wife's cards.)
'Often the bureaus have been of in-
valuable help to the 'police .in tracking
forgers. IOate impostor had robbed
enough mailboxes and stolen enough
purses to have always .some means of
identification for the many names she
assumed. So clever was she in alter-
ing her appearance that she was vari-
ously reported as being es and 35
years of age, and of different 'heights,
weights, and coloring. In spite of her
protean ability she was finally
brought to. justice because the credit
bureau's detailed notations on her di-
verse master cards rei•eaied certain
telltale similarities in procedure.
The New .York credit 'bureau has
3;500,0.00 navies on file and is adding
to them at the rate of half a ntil'lion•a
year; it occupies a witole floor of a
large office (building and has :108 em-
ployes, including 150 reporters who go
out on regular assignnenta to invest-
igate individuals' financial status, per-
sonal habits and relationships. There
is equally thorough coverage, with
u n:iform recorcl'keeping, in every
town and village. When a North Car,
oliva schoolteacher wished to order
something on credit from a New
York store, an investigator front
Asheville traveled two days over
ntauntain roads to get the necessary
data,
Yes, you'd be surprised at how
nianch interesting information the
credit 'bureaus may 'have about you
and your friends, But it is because of
this, as well as 'because 915 persons
out of 100 are honest, that the enor-
mous and ever-increasing volume of
retail 'buying on credit is possible
