MERCHANTS ORGANIZATION.

A number Of retail merchants Of
day evening, Feb. 18th, and listened
to an address by D. NJ. Bennett, of
The Merchants Retail Commercial
Agency, 50 Dearborn ST., Chicago, ILL.,,
ing, Boston, Mass. The system in use
by this Agency has for it's purpose the
protection of Retail Merchants. The
legality, practicability and results of
the system were fully explained. At
ter consideration, a motion was made
that those present proceed to organ
ize the Barton Branch of such agency.
The motion prevailed by an unami-
nous vote. The following were
chosen as officers. Pres, 0. d. Owen;
vice-Pres, II. T. Seaver; Sec, E. w.
Barron; Treas, G.. G.. Tower; Elk.
Board, d. w. Brown, Geo. FL. Blake,
G. E. Hamblet, G. F. Percival, A. NJ.
Tower.
This Agency uses no dishonorable
means to force collections or settle
ments, but the merchants propose to
exercise their legal rights to refuse
credit to person who gains the repu-
tation of not treating member of the
Agency honorably.
There is no law compelling mer-
chants to sell their goods on credit.
There is no law forbidding merchants
refusing credit to any person they see
fit, and when a merchant sells his
goods on credit it is an accommoda-
ton to the consumer, and if such con-
sumner has no appreciation Of the
favor extended and wilfully neglects
to make a reasonable and honorable
adjustment of the Indebtedness, then
he should be compelled to pay as he
buys. 1t is better for him and much
more profitable for the merchant.
Many poor worthy man has been
refused credit for the necessities of
life because of the merchants un-
pleasant experience with bad debt
ors, but this system will tend to obvi-
ate all that, because the man who
does respect his credit will be known
and have a standing among mer-
chants, while the "dead beat'' and
others of his kind will also be known
to the members Of this Agency and
be absolutely refused credit; no mat
ter if he moves to another town or
state his reputation as poor pay will
follow him, and the merchants in such
new places of residence will also re-
fuse him credit. This Agency issues
regular and legal Abstract of un-
settled accounts every sixty days,
and complete United States and
Canada Book in July and January of
each year. Each member agrees to
forfeit twenty dollars to his branch as
a penalty in case he extends credit to
a person whose unsettled account ap-
pears in the abstract, and no account
can appear therein until the debtor
has had full and fair opportunity to
go to the merchant he owes and in
some way arrange such Indebtedness.
The man who can pay and won't pay,
and the man who cannot pay but will
not go to the merchant and state his
condition and make effort to arrange.
