Show rrrr V Brigham Gty, Utah Tuesday, January 2, 1962 Local Family Former Local Credit Reference Book Lists Featured in Resident to 337 Businesses in County Now Cosmopolitan Serve Mission THE BOX EIDER NEWS, Statistics released this week by D.E. Smith, district manager of the Salt Lake City office of Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., reflect the trend of the business population in Box Elder county during the past year. Figures obtained from a physical count of the Dun & Bradstreet reference book for January, 1962, totaled 337 manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers in this area. ' THE REFERENCE book lists all manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers who seek or grant commercial credit. It does not include some of the service and professional businesses such as beauty and barber shops, security dealers and real estate brokers. Therefore, the figures for businesses in Box Elder County would actually be higher than the 337 quoted above. ' Using the reference book as a guide, it is noted that Brigham City had 186 listings in January, 1962, as compared with 190 in 1961 and 188 in 1960. WHEN THE owner or officer of a business enterprise, or his accountant, fills out and mails his fi s Utah Savers Will Receive nancial statement to Dun & Bradstreet, it becomes a part of the credit report on his business and a factor in determining the credit rating of his business. Each reference book listing is a condensed summary of the information contained in the Dun & Bradstreet credit report. The report includes a history of the business; 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 business pays its bills. The Dun & Bradstreet reference book, which is the worlds largest regularly published volume, is revised every 60 days to keep the business listings current. Elder Ronald Youngquist, former resident of Brigham City, and now of 613 - Fifth Street, Ogden, will serve a mission for the Church of Saints Jesus Christ of Latter-dain Florida.
