How Many Accounts 



Have You Written Off 

 for 1921? 



Have your accounts taught 

 you a lesson by the bit- 

 ter experience of guessing 

 credit risks? 



Are your losses in BAD 

 ACCOUNTS eating the 

 heart out of your profits? 



How much more would 

 your profits have been had 

 you no losses due to BAD 

 ACCOUNTS? 



Rather not enough credit 

 to your customers as a 

 blessing than too much 

 credit to be cursed. 



It is all right to be accom- 

 modating and feel sure of 

 getting your money but it 

 is all wrong to give credit 

 when credit is not due. 



Our Credit system distin- 

 guishes "Good Pay" from 

 "Poor Pay." 



Now BAD RISKS can 

 largely be avoided by the 

 interchange system of 

 Credit Information. 



Under present day business 

 conditions it is not consid- 

 ered to be in good form to 

 accept orders assuming a 

 chance that an order will be 

 paid for. See that it is good. 



Only by your membership 

 in this Co-operative Credit 

 Association have you abso- 

 lute assurance to reduce 

 your BAD CREDIT 

 RISKS. 



Join this Credit Associa- 

 tion that is co-operative in 

 the full sense of the word. 



Membership Fee is re- 

 deemed ten times in 

 MONEY SAVED. 



Better be SAFE than 

 SORRY.
