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 me JANUam mm we onARY tan MU no et 1 2 3 4 0 6 7 s 910 11121314 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 293031 0 13311 FEBRUARY ins 3.
