HOW’S YOUR
CREDIT?
Your credit lies in the good faith which your merchant places in you.
It is based upon the confidence that exists between you and your mer-
chant. With your credit, you may obtain a suite of furniture, a new
car, or food and clothing for yourself and family. Your merchant trusts
you as a reliable citizen of the community and gives you the privilege
of paying him later.
\
Human nature has a way of postponing the payment of bills. There are go
many things to be bought with each week’s salary that often the payment of
bills Is neglected . . . many times unintentionally. Thrifty people manage their
family budget wisely, pay1 their billa promptly, and buy the things they need
when they can best afford them.
Co-operate with your merchant. PAY YOUR BILLS ON TIME and
continue your good credit with him. Your merchant has invested his
profits in extending credit to you and is entitled to a fair return. He
enjoys giving you credit. When credit is good, business is good. Don’t
abuse the credit privilege. PAY YOUR BILLS WHEN THEY ARE
DUE and uphold the good faith which your merchant places in you.
PROTECT YOUR CREDIT BY PAYING YOUR BILLS WHEN
DUE OR PROMISED!

STRENGTH SHOWN
IN STATE BANKS
Resources of 475 State banks in
Texas totaled $189,743,436 as re-
flected in the State bank call of
March 5, records compiled by the
State Banking department show.
The total represented an increase
of $4,266,681 over the resources of
489 banks which totaled $185,476,-
766 Dec. 30, 1933.
Exclusive of savings depart-
ments, resources as of March 6
were $182,689,640, compared to
$178,006,390, as of Dec. 30.
Cash on hand in State banks
-totaled $6,297,976,'the Msreh 5 call
revealed. Cash on hand Dec. 30,
1933, totaled $7,691,986. The de-
crease of $2,297,010 in the sums
on hand was generally believed to
indicate a more liberal loan policy,
putting the cash held in “hard
times” back to work in commercial
channels.
However, loans and discounts on
personal collateral security as of
March 6 totaled $49,953,520, com-
pared with $52,777,857 as of Dec.
30.
Comparative statements compil-
ed by the Banking department
pointed out, however,' that 489
banks were reporting Dec. 30, com-
pared with 475 banks reporting
March 6.
