But those early attempts at credit control resulted in the modern credit bureau with ever-, changing records, showing today's good risks, slow-paying customers and the deadbeats. Almost Everyone In Keeerds Good customers? Is your name recorded there? Of course, and the fact that it is there saves you the embarrassment of having your friends questioned when you make a large purchase on time in some distant city. But the merchants themselves who comprise the governing association rejoice as that list of names grows. It means more business for them. By the way, merchants aren't the only patrons of Credit Bureaus.

Although the records are not open to just anyone, Uncle Sam has -found that they are a pretty good substitute for the complete personal records kept by governmental agencies of most European countries. Through them the FBI may locate rapidly persons in all parts of the country. Federal loans were not made, during the years when federal housing and federal farm loans were the mainstay of many families' financing, without a basis of knowledge. And often that knowledge was provided through the credit bureau of the land. Record Sources Many Wherp do the records come from? As widely varied sources as newspaper clippings and your landlord, the grocer and the fur rier; the public utilities and the doctor's office.

Credit Bureaus in Salem have the records of more than 100.009 families in this trade area. Sec4 ond oldest such establishment in the state, they can trace the de velopment of numerous families from penurity, hardship and poor credit rating to ease, plenty: and excellent credit standings. i Those i records art constantly changing. While credit has not played such an important part in Salem's economy during the fat years of war credit bureau records have beenl, ever-changing and have required constant attention.

Discretion as well as efficiency Is required of Credit Bureaus employes and through the years (since 1917) its executives have learned that women do not talk as much as cartoonists would have one believe. Satiated with knowledge at their fingers' tips, they have no curiosity about the rec ords, which, says Smith, is "to their credit" Up 116 Health Group Sets Schedule Marion county health department has scheduled the following activities for the week.

At one side, glass and wooden panels segregate small "interview" rooms.

"Ah," says the Average Reader, "we knew that somewhere along the way the debtor would enter the picture" and he does. But," declares Francis Smith, Credit Bureau manager, "he is not the loser by those interviews, unless he counts it a loss to find a way to pay his bills and gain a worthwhile credit rating." Good Credit Sought For credit good rather than collecting bills is the chief business of a credit bureau. Smith says. i "When credit advanced from the country store where the owner knew all of his customers intimately towards the complex system we have today in cities, where most acquaintances are casual at best and you don't know how much your own brother owes it. became necessary for merchants and professional men to pool their Information so they might advance credit to those worthy and not to those who had a record of running out on their obligations," Smith explains.
