n GOOD CREDIT
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE use CREDIT in tts
various forms, but only those who are honest and
industrious and who realize the obligation of
meeting their contracts as agreed, continue to
en[oy its advantages.
AFTER ALL, the credit you command rests largely
on one thing — Not the position you hold, not the
property you own; not your bank account—But the
way you PAY YOUR BILLS
TO MAINTAIN a good credit record pay all charge
accounts promptly each month and installment
accounts when due.
CREDIT IS PRICELESS
GUARD IT AS A SACRED TRUST
