CREDIT ILLS LAID TO SALES POLICY (Conttnued from page 1) but with all this progress, he still extends credit on the outworn characteristics of his grand fa ther." The field representative, who Is In the west from his home in Mi ami, Florida, believes that if all retailers would adopt, a commun ity credit policy, there would be quick reversal of the present cre dit situation, but he Is not so op timistic as to hold that all re tailers will get together to do this. However, he does believe the time must come when every re- taller and professional man who grants credit will become affilia ted with a credit association 01 bureau, or both, and will not grant credit until he knows some thing ot the actual paying habits of the man or woman to whom credit is granted. In other words. he believes credit giving will be limited throughout every town, as result of a cooperative spirit the only one which he holds can rem edy the situation in the retail cre dit world. Customers will continue on in the present misuse of credit so long as the retailer lets them. Caldwell declared, adding that It rests entirely on the ability of the retailer to correct the credit evu.
