The Credit Mans Costly Error.

Sometimes credit man goes all
wrong-but not often; A country
merchant came MP from Indiana with
a written list Of the things he wanted.
| He said he was new to the business,
but he meant to have partner who
| was wise. After he had picked out
goods amounting to $4,000 he was in
troduced to the credit man, and he
looked so uncouth and inefficient that
the credit man wondered how good
clerks had been wasting their time on
him.
"What terms do you want, Mr..
--?" He stopped, and the visitor
supplied the name.
"Well, down in our country We al
ways pay after harvest.
aBut harvest is past. You don't
mean next harvest-in 190C-do you?"
"Well, that's when my people will
pay me-
"Oh, we couldn't do that. Ninety
days is the very best I could give you. :"
And even at that he wanted to know
a great many things about his visitors s
prospects.
"Hov much if I pay all in so
days ?"
The credit man quoted the terms.
"sHow much in 80 e?''
A discount was mentioned.
"How much for cash?"
"Spot cash? Money DOWN.
"Yes-currency."
1t was o wild question. The credit
man knew he had no chance to get
$4,000 out Of that man, and he quoted
o beautiful discount.
"Well, receipt the bill," was the
couutryman's rejoinder. And out from
the folds Of a SO suit Of clothes he
dragged money enough to buy q yacht
and run it all summer.
He didn't pue on much style, but
