this area. These Red Books will speed credit auth
orization on nominal purchases, and make it much
easier for you to identify yourself in the opening
of new accounts. We congratulate you on the splen
did way your record shows in this book.
Here are what we consider interesting statistics
on the information contained in this book. There
were more than 156,000 account survey slips
filled out by the credit personnel of cooperating
establishments. It took a staff of six field work
ers and twenty-two clerks three months to make
the contacts for the survey and processing the sur
vey slips to combine the paying record as shown
by the merchants. 280,000 sheets of paper weigh
ing 1,475 pounds were used in printing the books.
The ledger survey slips would make a stack as tall
as a three story building and laid end to end,
make a strip, eleven miles long." The Credit Vol
ume involved in the transactions is estimated at
more than $8,000,000. The 51,900 names listed
in the book represent families composed of more
than 150,000 people who use their credit in deal
ing in this area.
All of this new fn formation of course is now
rapidly going into the reporting files of the bu
reau to be available to the credit grantors of the
community when the call for credit reports. It will
require seventy-five days of filing to get this in
formation in i file, and requires much additional
filing space io house this information.'
Seventy-Sfive percent of the Nation's business
is done on credit, and with the swing more and
more to credit, particularly in retail sales, this is
the first of a series of programs sponsored by the
Salem Credit Association and the Credit Bureau
of Salem, to make this trade area a better place
to do a credit business, both from the view' point
of the seller and buyer..
