Frequently not the lack of ability to pay bills promptly but carelessness or procrastination jeopardizes a man’s cred it. If this bad habit persists he may lose or impair his credit standing and when adversities set upon him and he needs credit it may not be available. Further, as a series of advertisements placed by a local credit bureau, in The Empire recently, points out, each credit customer is an important link in the great chain of cred it. If anyone in this chain is slow to pay he slows up the entire credit circle. Eventually this slowing up comes injur iously back on the one slow to pay. Paying promptly protects your credit, creates prosper ity by keeping the flow of money steadily in circulation, en ables others to pay promptly and through the increase of money in circulation great steps toward recovery are made. —Juneau Empire. TAKING HOLD The opening of Juneau’s Better Housing Campaign per ceptibly increased the number of people inquiring at the FHA office in the Shattuck Building, and the personnel have been busy answering questions, FHA Director John E. Pegues, said recently.

Full information is available at the FHA offices, the most satisforctory way of finding out what the FHA can do for you is to vistt the local office, and discuss your particu lar problem with those in authority.—Juneau Empire. ADVERTISING IS COMMERCIAL NEWS J. M. Stephenson, editor of the South Bend (Ind.) News Times, says: “That advertising is commercial news, almost everyone knows. But few realize that no publication has ever been successful who lost sight of this fact is not so well known. Repeated efforts hfive been made to publish periodicals con taining no advertising. None have'succeeded. “One of the smartest industrialists of the age, Henry Ford, bored, np doubt, with advertising of other motor cars and believing erroneously that advertisers used their buy ing power to influence editorial comment, tried to give the public a weekly without advertising. He built his promotion program on the fact that his publication offered no oppor tunity for advertisers’ exploitation, because he printed no advertising. But the public didn’t take to the Dearborn In dependent. It lacked something the people wanted, and Mr. Ford failed as have others. He learned that commer cial news is as important to people as their own doings. “Censorship of advertising has been so rigid for years that confidence has been ingrained in the public mind. It is well that this is true. It is important to keep it true.
