NURSERYMEN'S CREDIT AND COL- 

 LECTION BUREAU. 



Service Has Now Been Resumed — 

 Committee Appointments. 



The Credit and Collection Bureau 

 formerly conducted by our counsel, 

 Curtis Nye Smith, was temporarily 

 suspended after his release as counsel, 

 though he courteously conducted it to 

 accomodate us for over a month after 

 the expiration of his contract. 



The Executive Committee in Chi- 

 cago directed President Moon to see 

 what arrangements could be made for 

 the continuance of this service that 

 members had enjoyed. With the assist- 

 ance of Mr. Watson arrangements 

 have just been made with the United 

 States Fidelity and Guaranty Com- 

 pany of Baltimore through their New 

 York office. Any member of the Ameri- 

 can Association of Nurserymen is now 

 entitled to subscribe to the service of 

 this company through Secretary Size- 

 more's office. The fees for collections 

 will be the same as have been pre- 

 viously charged under the arrange- 

 ment with Mr. Smith. The credit re- 

 porting feature which the new ar- 

 rangement offers ought to be of great 

 benefit to nurserymen for they can 

 readily secure in advance credit re- 

 ports of any customer about whom 

 they are in doubt. The service will 

 also include collection letters, proper 

 forms of draft and list of attorneys 

 who are secured by bond of the United 

 States Fidelity and Guaranty Com- 

 pany. 



The United States Fidelity and 

 Guaranty Company protects the Asso- 

 ciation and any members subscribing 

 to the service by a bond of $10,000 

 with a limit o£ $2,500 on any one at- 



torney. This bond will for the pres- 

 ent be deposited with President Moon. 

 The detailed announcement will be 

 mailed to members of the Association 

 within a few days. Under the new 

 plan each member is directly benefited 

 financially for he can here subscribe 

 through his association to a service 

 which would, if purchased separately, 

 cost him from $15 to $20 per annum 

 and while through the Association he 

 ran secure this for $5.00 per annum 

 which covers the cost of the list of 

 guaranteed attorneys and the quar- 

 terly supplement thereto. 



Nurserymen having claims with 

 Curtis Nye Smith will withdraw them 

 and be given an opportunity to sub- 

 scribe to this new service to further 

 prosecute their claims. 



Vice-President Lloyd Stark paid a 

 visit upon President Moon on Tues- 

 day, August 19, at which time a num- 

 ber of matters important to the Asso- 

 ciation were discussed and the com- 

 mittee appointments considered. 



Committee appointments already de- 

 cided upon include C. G. Perkins. 2nd 

 Vice-President Jackson & Perkins Co., 

 Newark, New York as chairman of the 

 Legislative Committee. William Pitkin 

 of Chase Brothers Company, Roches- 

 ter who long served efficiently as 

 chairman of this committee has con- 

 sented to be a member of it that the 

 committee may have the benefit of his 

 experience. The rest of this Commit- 

 tee it is Mr. Moon's idea to select from 

 the Legislative Committee of the state 

 and sectional association. He thereby 

 expects to link up these associations 

 with the National Association and to 

 provide a direct means of communicat- 

 ing Legislation arising in any state 

 with the National Chairman.
