Merchants Credit Association of Lake and Porter Counties, Membership ListMembers of the Merchants Credit Association of Lake and Porter Counties . . . .
In
1916, P. M. Tuttle published a book titled Merchants Rating and Credit
Association Local Credit Reports, which provided the credit ratings of
thousands of individuals residing in Porter County and Lake County. The book also published
the credit ratings of some residents of adjacent counties conducting business in
these two counties. No national credit rating service bureaus existed as this
time, so area merchants would often form associations to inform one another of their
patrons' credit worthiness. In a few instances, the merchants would publish
credit reports to be used exclusively by association members. This book was
published by the members of the Merchant Credit Association of Lake and Porter
Counties, Indiana. Members of the Association are listed below by their location
of operation, exactly as they were presented in the book.
