A STORY OF WHY
Told by One Who Has Given
Credit to Too Many Who
Refuse to Pay.
In the last issue of the Ladies'
Home Journal some grocer locat
ed in a swell suburb of a large
easlcrn cily lllls a full page with
a story of why he is going to fail.
The gist of the whole matter is
I hat he has extended too much
credit to "dead beats" and a ho
says, the customers who will not
pay are almost all "high livers,.
people who demand the best and
refuse to pay for it.
Heading thai, ably written ar
ticle, and considering the almost
reverence given to anything that
appears in such a journal by
many people, a merchant of Ne
braska who is a member of his
local 'and slate federation, one
active and elllcient along the lines
laid out. for such organizations,
must certainly smile and feel that
he could in Ivvo minutes tell that
merchant a way out of all his dif
ficulties, in fact, a way to a great
success.
Hut he could .only point tho
way. The going would be easy,
loo, compared lo the trouble of
starling; and the problem of get
ting stalled lies in the dilliculty
in getting grocers or other busi
ness men of a community to co
operate.' A certain preacher, of whom
I this man tells, traded with him to
the extent of about $70 and then
look his custom lo another grocer
when dunned. He never paid any
thing on account. If the grocers
of the suburb had a local federa
tion doing nothing more than
keeping up an elllcient, credit
agreement that preacher would
eilher have paid his account or
moved or gone hungry or paid
cash; he would have received no
credit elsewhere. The chances
are ten to one he would have paid
his account.
Merchants of Nebraska, here is
an argument ou cannot refute.
The subject is deemed important
enough for Ihe editors of a jour
nal like the one mentioned to
publish an article dealing with
this credit evil. That grocer ad
mits a strictly cash basis would
not work in that place. The only
thing left, then, is to reform the
credit business, and how are you
going to do il if you don't join
with your fellow merchants in a
local and stale federation? With
such an organization all planned
and ready for your use it will be
your own fault if you fail because
you don't use il. Omaha Trade
