the value of credit Jonteel Toilet Requisites
L-reclit is an expression of trust -- the belief in a
man s ability to meet his financ ial obligations. In
business, as In all human relations, trust is the
inspiration for lare accomplishments.
To the business man. credit is largely a matter of
rating and collections. But to the banker, in fi
nancing business, credit must be an exact science.
Only on facts, deduced from and supported by
figures, may the banker safely extend the credit
desired -- safely for your welfare and for his own.
Safety these days is the new law of business pre
servation. The banker is the judge. In extending
credit he must follow conservative as well as con
struct! ve policies. Facts and figures are his guides
- his only laws.
The officers of the First National Bank will gladly
consult with you as to your credit requirements.

Man Said It
I j
A San Francisco advertising man sent out a
folder (he other day. It was what is known
as a "business rustler."
The ad man epitomized the whole business
situation in two sentences. He said:
"It's not hard times COMING,
It's just soft times GOING."
Soft times are certainly going. That in itself
is a sign of health. There is a shaking down
process Roing on which will result in every
man going to work at a producing job.
The above is taken from last week's issue of
the Portland Ad Club's publication, The
Spotlight, and our comment is that insofar
as our customer's requirements are in keeping
with this sentiment we are prepared to take
care of them.

(From the O.

The Oregon weekly newspaper rural

week, was won by the Hood River Gla
cier with an almost perfect score. As
a basis of awards the committee con
sidered the amount and quality of
rural news, features and editorials -written.
to "play up" the farm or the
country "doings." The Glacier was
finally selected as the winner of the
lov ing cup, nrst place in the contest.
St nd place was taken easily by an
other Hood Kiver paper, the News. It
took the judges considerable time and
thought to decide between the News
and the Glacier for first place, as both
were declared to be "excellent." The
prize for second place was $10 cash.
The Record-Chieft ain nf i ' i . ' i 1 1 f i I.

of all others for third, and won the
$5 cash prize offered.
For fourth place five awards- $4.50

were awarded, after a great deal of
discussion on relative values of rural
service, to find which of seven or eight
had to be eliminated, to the Polk

the kind of a job they were getting
into, said the letter. "It was ex

excellent country weeklies to select
even eight of the top-notchers. In
fact, the committee hesitated a long
time in making a choice for first place
between the two Hood River papers.
"there was no question but that one
or the other of them should have it,
but which one stumped the committee.
The Glacier had a bad make-up on its
front page on account of advertise
ments, but its make-up on the inside
was better than that of the News,
which had a good looking front page.
The committee would have declared
them a tie had they had another cup,
but the decision was finally given to
the Glacier on account of having sev
eral more articles in the issue on din.

the News.
