Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Credit: Its Meaning and Moment
Here we must drop metaphor, and take up some of the facts and figures which we find covering the history, position and potency of an institution which has now become one of the most important factors in the departments of commerce and finance, and Which, it is fair to presume, in the coming growth and outreach of our coun try, is destined to become still more wide-spread and powerful as a recognized regulator and indicator of business credits throughout the length and breadth of our continent. They who assume to do this take upon themselves a great responsibility, morally as well as in a commercial sense. This is the position at which The Bradstreet Company is aiming, and the army of workers herein mentioned are a part of the chosen instruments through which it is purposed to win success in this great undertaking.
