Until the introduction of the tele.
phone the retailer of toys and notions
never knew what it was to incur bad
debts. He did not have to placard his
store with ''please don't ask for credit"
signs, for no one seemed to think of
coming in to buy toys or trifes unless
he had the wherewithal handy to nav
for them. But now orders come bv
telephone which no one likes to ignore.
nor can the c. o. d. system be rigidly en-
forced, however much one may try'. So
every year a larger sum has to be written
OF to profit and loss as ''bad detts." for
the amounts, although large in the az.
gregate, are too small to make their
collection commercial possibility.
Another bad result from the tele-
phone, 50 far as this business il con-
cerned, is the increased percentage of
goods which have to be delivered. Tovs
bought over the counter are nearly al
ways taken home, but telephone orders
have to be sent, however trihing the
profit may be. know Of two instances
IN which telephones have been aban-
doned in the hope of forcing a return to
