Credit Standing “Confidence”

Every one who may have occasion to borrow money or seek credit is interested in knowing the factors that must be considered by a banker, business house or mercantile agency in determining “credit standing.” For this reason, in response to a number of requests for this information, and in view of the fact that a large portion of our two and one half million dollars assets are loaned to the people of this community we have written this ad which we trust will prove helpful to all who may read it. The first and primary factor in the granting of credit is

All business relations opened upon confidence in individuals. Certain factors are generally recognized as entering into the establishment of confidence. Financial responsibility is one factor, but is only relatively valuable in determining aedit standing. Possession of money or property is not in itself a good reason for granting aedit. The dependibility of the owner is a far more vital factor. > Value of poisessions, however, is a useful guide as to the amount of obligation that one can wisely assume. Property, too, acts as a safeguard, should the auditor for any cause be unable to meet an obligation when due.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT Absolute candor in making a financial statement to a bank or business house is very essential to confidence. • * “The Man” One of the chief factors in determining aedit standing is the man himself, A careful, prudent man—who lives within his means, spends thoughtfully and incurs obligations conservatively — can usually command a full line of aedit in accordance with his financial responsibility and the ability of the bank or business house to accommodate him.
