Convention Here
Seventh Annual Conference
Opens at Hotel Fontenelle;
to Discuss Important
Problems.
w
Seventh annual conference of Ne
braska credit men opened at Hotel
Fori tensile yesterday morning with ap
proximately 250 persons in attendance.
.1. II. Trego® of New York City, sec
votary and treasurer of the National
Association of Credit Men, is at the
conference. -
‘‘These conferences." lie said,
"were organized for the purpose of
getting the credit managers together
and giving them the privilege of dis
cussing important subjects."
He also says that the credits of
the country have become very com
plex; they now run into enormous fig
ures. To handle them, requires care,
skill and training and the chief aim
of the conference is to develop tHe
skill so that credits can flow freely,
and at a minimum of \saste.
Owing to the inflation of 1919-20,
Mr. Tregoe says, the losses of the
.last two years have run into a very
large sum, approximating $1,000,000,
000.
"This depletes the nations capital,
and should l*e avoided in the future,"
lie said.
He explained that the conference is
a a a. school. A subject is pre
Jl^'nterl and the speaker is subject'd
^ f't a ‘'quiz," with a general discussion
from the floor.
"Nebraska has always held a prom
inent pla«‘<* in the conference pro
gram, ' he declared. "The Credit
Men s association of Omaha was or
ganized some years ago. and has nl
/ ways played a useful part in the af
x fairs of the national organizations.
It was anticipated at least 350 would
attend ih< banquet last night at Hotel
Fontehelle.
