THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1936 ALASKA CREDIT BUREAU MOVING, NEW LOCATION uarters Elaboraiely ‘Ar- ranged — Growth of Concern Is Noted Another modern business office is added to the city's growing busi- ness district today with announce- ment by the Alaska Credit Bureau that the firm’s offices ate moving to {lie new quarters on the ground floor of the First National Bank Build- ing. The Alaska Credit Bureau is awned and operatéd by Charles Waynor. The new offices; exterisively re- modeled to meet the requirements of the bureau, are ultra-modern in every detail, and are built for the maximum in efficiency, Mr. Waynor said. The offices are equipped with a complete Shaw-Walker filing sys- tem. Has Steady Growth Mr. Waynor has seen under his management the bureau grow from a small service in 1930 to one of importance to buyer 'and éonsumer in Alaska. Mr. Waynor is credited =th opening the first service of its kihd in the Territory, early in 1930, in Ketchikan. = The offices were opened there to satisfy a de- mand for ' correct credit ‘reports. The business prospered and soon the ihitiatér found a need for a central office, to better serve all of Alaska. Almost three years ago, Mr. Waynor moved his office to Juneau, and established a ‘central headquarters in the Valentine Build- ing, on Seward Streét. The rapid increase in business today has mark- ed the removal of offices to the new location on the bank building’s main floor. 25,000 Credit Reports Today the Alaska Credit Bureau ' has on file 25,000 credit ratings. The bureau also hoids membership in the National Retail Credit Asso- ciation and the ‘National Consumers Credit Reporting Corporation. These organizations maintain 1,350 offices all over the world, and Mr. Way- nor stated that his office has at cess to the reports of both groups, at all times. A wire to the main offices brings the needed informa- ation at once. { Among the bureau’s duties are: Collection department, revival of dead accounts, portfolio of collection Jetters, creating among merchants a uniform credit policy, and edu- cation of the public through adver- tising. There is nothing restrictive in the ramifications of the Alaska Credit Bureau, Mr. Waynor said, except to vestrict bad debts. With the growth of sound credit, business will be increased, for more people will utilize their credit and use it prop- erly. The policy, he said, is to encourage the broad use of credit that is con- sistent with sound business and the public welfare. The public becomes conscious also, that practices must be avoided which may impair the credit standing of the purchaser, he continued. Part of the stipulated program of the Alaska Credit Bureau is to “edu-| cate the public in ine meaning and proper use of credit, to help toward the better understanding of credit, to encourage its proper use, to dis- courage its overuse or abuse, and | by kindly sympathy, sound advice, | and . reasonable consideration, help 1lhose who are or may become ser- ‘loml\ involved, to reestablish them- | selves, pay all their outstanding lia- bilities, ahd become once more, good credit citizens.” THe completed’ office in the new location ‘was ‘made possible through fie ‘skilled ‘work' of Fred Wendt, painting and decorating, exterior | and ‘interior, Columbta Lumber, wall aha ceiling materidl and lumber, Moiris and Boyer, contractors and | carpenters who completed the gen- eral contract, Garland Boggan floors, Lu Liston, signs, J.
