Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dickerman's United States Treasury Counterfeit Detector and Bankers' and Merchants' Journal, Vol. 16: October 1899 There is not a large mercantile house of any consequence to-day in the United States that has not a thoroughly equipped credit department in charge of a competent man and yet, strange to say, the number of credit departments in banks throughout the United States can be counted almost upon the fingers of your two hands. The time has come for the introduction of this feature into the banking business. The accumulation of wealth in this country, and the rapidly lowering rates for money, makes it incumbent upon us all to scrutinize with the greatest care our loans and discounts, for we cannot afford to take the chances of loss as in the past, because of the diminishing returns for the use of our funds.
