TIE QUESTION or CREDIT.

S0ne Suggestions Looking to Improving
the Methods Of Closing of Business
Under ssignment.
To tie Editor: The question Of credit
is by far the most important that con-
fronts the business world to-day. 1T is
almost impossible to do business without
crediting and yet half Of the failures are
due to that cause. To avert or mini
mize credit losses almost assures success.
The assignment Law Of North Caro-
lima is unsatisfactory to both debtor AMI
creditor. The creditor at best gets but
little and in a great many eases, nothing
at all and the debtor is forever and
hopelessly left in debt. The main trou-
bic is that the assignor's assets are eth
or sold at sacrifice prices or eaten Up
by expenses in winding up the busi-
ness. Now if the assignor's property
could be sold for its worth at a small
cost in most instances the creditors would
be paid and the assignor relieved of
debt. To do that the assignor must
have market for his property and the
best way to assure one is to make the
creditors individually and collectively
interested in the sale of the assets. Now
if the law could be changed so as TO,
First: Prohibit all preferred creditors
in all assignments. Second: Have all
the assets sold at public auction. Third:
Permit any creditor to apply the a.
mount of his purchase to the liquida-
ton Of his debt
All creditors would then he on an
equal footing and they would see that
every piece of property sold for its
worth. The debtor would be benefited
by the cancellation of his debts and
the creditors would be in securing and
dividing whatever the assignor possess
ed.
A summary as follows to wit: First.
All creditors would be on an equal foot
ing. Second: A speedy settlement would
be assured. Third, The cost of settling
and winding up the business would be
reduced to minimum. Fourth, A mar.
ket for the debtors effects would be az
sured. and the market value guaranteed
by the individual and collective interest
/ OF the creditors. Fifth. The creditors
would certainly get something and in
, most instances 100 cents on the dollar
