First National Sees
Increases in Loans
And Deposits
i
A new all-time record high de- j
posit total was recorded by First
National bank of Oregon when,
the statewide bank reported Its'
December 31, 1958 statement of
condition figures to the comp
troller of the currency.
Yearend deposits of $849,167,
09-1 were reported, eclipsing the
old mark of $821,125,576 set on
December 31, 1955 at the previous
peak of Oregon's post-war boom.
The Heppner branch of First
National reported yearend depos
its of $5,859,673 and loans totall
ing $3,555,907, according to J H
Bedford, branch manager. '
At the same time he released
comparable totals for the branch
for the December 31, 1957 call for
bank statements. On that date,
deposits were $6,001,795 and
loans were $3,184,343. i
In establishing the new record,
First National gained $60,598,000
in deposits over the past year.
Loans for the 78 offices amoun-1
ted to $-427,263,905, a gain of
$38,804,000 over a year ago.
C B Stephenson, president of
First National, said several fact- j
ors were responsible for the sig
nificant increase In deposits. He
cited the increase In lumber pric
es during the last nair or isss
and its stimulation to local busi
ness. He also pointed out that
statistics show that people ap
parently are passing up many
hard goods items, such as ap
pliances and automobiles, In or
der to save money.
The bank president illustrated
this by pointing out that $32,
624,000, about half ol the Increase
in First National deposits the
past year, was In the time and
savings categories.

Number of County
Businesses Climb
During Past Year
'There are 11 more business
concerns in Morrow county today
than there were last year," says
J Harry White, district manager
of the Portland office of Dun &
Bradstreet, Inc. Basing his facts
upon a physical count of the
January, 1959, Dun & Bradstreet
Reference Book, White points out
that in 1958 there were 95 busi
nesses listed in Morrow County
and today 106 businesses are list
ed an increase of 11.6 percent.
The reference book, incident
ally, lists ony manufacturer,
wholesalers and retailers. It does
not include some of the service
and professional businesses such
as beauty and barber shops and
stock and real estate brokers.
Thus, the figures for business In
Morrow county would actually
be higher than the 106 listed
above.
White also added that during
the past year, 20,197 changes
were made in the reference book
listings of Oregon businesses, in
cluding 5,102 names added, 5,140
deleted, and 9,955 changes In rat
ings of continuing businesses.
The reference book contains ap-
roximately three million business
listings for over 50,000 communl
ties in the United States. It is
published every sixty days to
keep listings current. During the
past sixty days, nearly 70,000 new
names were added and nearly
65,000 names were removed,
Credit ratings were changed dur
ing this period on more than
110,000 business concerns.
Using the Dun & Bradstreet
Reference Book listings as a
guide it is Interesting to review
what has happened In the largest
community in the past year:
The reference book listed 56
businesses in Heppner in Jan
uary, 1958. The January 1959
listing shows 64 businesses here,
an increase of 14.3 percent.
As one phase In revising cred
it ratings and keeping them up-to-date,
every year the credit re
porting agency writes to all busi
nesses who are listed In the ref
erence book to request their bal
ance sheets. White says that this
letter speds up the flow and pro
cessing of some of the facts on
which credit ratings are based.
"More than 95 percent of all com
mercial transactions in the U S
are made on credit terms," he
added. "The purpose of the ref
erence book is to help business
men in any part of the country
make prompt and accurate credit
decisions to ship or sell to busi
nessmen 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 con
sists of two symbols. The first,
a letter of the alphabet, indicates
financial strength or tangible net
worth of the business. The second
symbol is a number. It reflects
a composite appraisal of the
background, operations, financial
stability, and payment record.
Each reference book listing,
which Includes the rating, Is a
condensed summary of the Infor
mation contained in the Dun &
Bradstreet credit report. The re
port includes a history of the
business (who owns It, who runs
it, and how long it has been oper
ating); a description of what the
business does and how it docs
