Prompt Payment.

PROMPT pay is the key to all success
in business. There are times in the
history of every trader when he finds it
inconyenient to meet his bill promptly,
and in such case we find the man who
knows his credit to be good becoming
lukewarm, forgetting that his creditors
are calculating upon him perhaps to meet
some pressing obligation. The result is
that he disappoints them, and thus, aft
er one or two repetitions of the same,
even the man whose credit is first class
can soon impair it, and sometimes TO a
degree that makes it hard for him to re-
cuperate. Now let us take the man of
moderate (say fair credit. He knows
under such circumstances that his credit
is scrupulously watched; and If his bills
begin to lapse he is at once notified of
it, and informed that unless past bills are
paid no more goods can be procured.
With such a contingency facing him, he
sees it is to his interest to meet his pay
ments promptly, and is on the high road
to success. Prompt pay does two inn
portant things-it inspires confidence in
the seller, putting the buyer upon first
class basis, and it insures the prompt
shipment of goods"
Our English contemporary, whence
we extract the above sound advice, for
gets to point out that there is a still
greater advantage in seeking no credit
at all, but in making payment at once.
Persons who have not tried the cash sys-
TEN (and We mean not merely in ordina-
ry business transactions, but everywhere,
even in small expenditures of the
household) have no idea how much II
simplifes the transaction and benefits
the buyer and seller. Moreover it is
saving to the purchaser of very large
percentage. We have found, by in
quiry among many retail dealers in this
city that such houses as are in the habit
of allowing credit to their customers,
from six months to one year, add ON an
average at least 10 per cent to the
cash price. And this must be so, be-
'ause the dealer cannot afford to lose
TIE interest on his money and take the
risk of failure of payment of por-
ton, which is inevitable. Another fact
for debtors, more especially of wine
merchants, tobacco sellers, and tailors,
is worth remembering; and that is that,
where one of these dealers gives credit,
he calculates that certain percentage
of the debts will never be paid, and this
percentage is necessarily added to the
charges made to all customers, both
time and cash. There are multitudes of
other benefits, which will suggest them
selves to any thoughtful person, all ac.
cruing by the prompt cash system
