NUMBER OF BUSINESSES IN HEPPNER INCREASES 7.7 DURING PAST YEAR "There are 7.7 more business concerns in Heppner today than there were in 1955", says J. Harry White, district manager of the Portland office of Dun & Brad- street. Basing his facts upon the figures in the current November, 1956 reference book, White points out that in 1955, 52 businesses were listed by Dun & Bradstreet; today there are 56 enterprises. Each January business con cerns in all parts of the United States receive from Dun & Brad- street requests for their annual financial statements. This year the number of requests going out nation-wide will approximate three million. The reference book, incident ally, lists only manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and some service companies, sucn as laundries and gasoline service stations. Thus the total number of business in Heppner and Mor row county is actually higher than the figures quoted. White stated that during the past year 39 changes were made in the reference book listings of Heppner businesses. These chan ges resulted from adding the names of new businesses, and deleting the names of those who discontinued, as well as account ing for changes in ownership, trade names and credit ratings. As one phase in revising credit ratings and keeping them up-to-date, every year the credit report, ing agency writes to all business es who are listed in the reference book to request their year-end balance sheets. White says that this letter speeds up the flow and processing of some of the facts on which credit ratings are based. "More than 95 per cent of all commercial transactions in the U. S. are made on credit terms," he added "The purpose of the reference book is to help buslnes men In any part of the country make credit decisions to ship or sell to businesses men in any other part of the country." ' The credit rating is one of the key factors in approving orders to ship or sell. The rating consists of two symbols. The first, a letter of the alphabet, indicates finan cial strength or tangible net worth of the business. The sec ond symbol is a number. It re flects a composite, appraisal of the background, operations, fi nanclal stability, and payment record.
