Show THE Thursday, February 5, 1959 Page Six Wellington Junior Hi-Lif- es Business Listings in Carbon County Show Decrease of 8 in Five Years Statistics released today by D. E. Smith, district manager of the Salt Lake City office of Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., reflect the trend of listed business firms in Carbon county during the past five years. Figures obtained from a physical count of the Dun & Bradstreet Reference Book for January, 1959, totaled 315 manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers in this area as compared to 342 in January, a decrease of 8 for the 1955 period. The Reference Book, incidentally, lists only manufacturers, 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 businesses in Carbon county would actually be higher than the 315 quoted above. The Reference Book contains approximately three million business listing for over 50,000 communities 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 during this period on more than 110,000 business concerns. Using Dun and Bradstreet Reference Book listings as a guide, it is interesting to review what has happened in the two principal Carbon county communities during the past five years. Reference book listings in January 1959 show-e- d Helper with 62 as compared to 74 in January df 1955, a decrease of 15 per cent. In Price the listings in 1959 are 205, the same number as was listed in January of 1955. As one phase in revising credit ratings and keeping them every year the credit reporting agency writes businesses who are listed in the Reference Book to request their balance sheets. Smith 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 businessmen in any part of the country make prompt ahd accurate credit decisions to ship or sell to businessmen 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 financial strength or tangible net worth of the business. The second symbol is a number. It reflects a composite appraisal of the background, op- erations, financial stability, and payment record. Each 'Reference Book listing, which includes the rating, is a condensed summary of the information contained in the Dun and Bradstreet credit report. The report includes a history of the business (who owns it, who 'runs Births By GAYLA MEAD it, and how long it has been operating) ; a description of what the business does and how it does it; a financial section which usually includes the latest financial statement; and a record of how the concern pays its bills. While credit reports are primarily used by businessmen who want to evaluate the credit risk before shipping or selling, insurance underwriters also use credit reports to review risks, rates, and coverage for fire and other types of insurance. nfprs , Wellington junior high students enjoyed a basketball game with Helper In which they were defeated 42-1The game was played in the Carbon College gym and transportation was again by bus.

If youre like 99 of all housewives, its getting the most for your money the greatest total value that really interests you. Next, you want to know where you get it. Thats why we think youll be interested in the what U. S. Department of Agriculreading ture says on that very subject They can tell you where to get the total value because theyve just completed a thorough study of whats been happening to prices in the United States from 1953 to 1957 not only in stores that give trading stamps but also in stores that do not give stamps. We hardly think this report will come as a surprise to many women. On your own, youve found out that when you save and redeem your stamps for merchandise you can get greater total value than the housewife who shops in as Pittsburgers, Furthermore, like the Government people' who conducted this study, youve probably discovered another interesting fact: There are some stores that charge' a bit less than stamp stores. But it is just as true that there are non-stastores that charge more than stamp stores.
