| Farmers in this country Us rule are
too careless about meeting their notes
the day that they arc due. They forget
that the man who has sold them the
goods must meet his payments prompt
~. There is a certain relation existing
between the farmer and the merchant,
which both should regard. Tie mer-
chant generally gives the farmer as much
time as lie asks for in which to pay for
what he buys. lie then purchases his
stock with reference to that time and
expects the farmers to Ike prompt in the:
payments in order that lie may meet his
obligations Will, the wholesale houses, or
with the bankers who furnish him the
money to carry on business Business
men must lie prompt regardless of cost.
But farmers too often think that it mat
tiers nothing if they are few days Or
month behind time. Some seem to
think it is all right IL they come to the
merchant u few days after their bills are
due and blandly tell linn they cannot
square their accounts. Any man who
will let IL merchant depend OH him till
his bill falls due and then say lie can't
p,y is not worthy Of credit to any extent.
There is no excuse for doing such an act
rs this. fla man cannot pay bill when
due, lct him go US spon al possible be-
fore it il due and tell i.is creditor how
lie is situated and offer to pay for any
Inconvenience he may put the merchant
to. Such IL course would save the credit
Of many IL man and be wonderful ac-
comnodntion to the merchant especially.
