CREDIT BUREAUS

... and the greatest of these Is CHARACTER

A Message to Parents and Educators on the need of Character-Forming as a Part of Every Child's Training ...

Character, Capacity and Capital are the three standards by which business men judge applicants for credit. And CHARACTER comes first.

For, a man may have capital - plenty of money. He may have capaci- ty-the ability to earn money. But without CHARACTER-the willingness to pay promptly according to agree- ment-his promises are worthless. The man with character can be depended upon to keep his promises and meet his obligations.

CHARACTER is a child's heritage, strengthened by the example of the parent and the precept of the teacher during early years-the formative pe- riod.

Character is honor-a high sense of personal responsibility and respect for one's obligations. And every child has the right to be trained in the te- nets of honesty and fairness in meet- ing his obligations. Otherwise his ed- ucation is incomplete his chance for success is impaired.

Treat YOUR CREDIT as a SACRED TRUST Use your credit freely and pay all bills promptly as agreed.
