! pleasant manner and secure by best means
possible, giving ample time.
During nearly twenty-five years OF ex-
perience our concern has never sued what
| is termed a live account. After a delin-
quent has become insolvent we have placed
claims of this nature in judgments, espe-
cially where We have anticipated that in
future there might be a chance to recover
some part OF the amount, We have made
I, a rule to be lenient and at the same
time firm. We have found by kindness
and forhearance we have saved many de-
linquent accounts. The good credit man
should look up and read Alice Carey's lit
tie poem Don't Crowd" which, for your
benefit I will here read;
Don't crowd. This world is LARGE enough
For you as well as me;
The doors of art are open wide
The realm OF thought is free.
or all earths pleasures, you are right
To choose the best YOU can,
Provided that you do not try
To crowd some other man.
What matter though you scarce can count
Your piles Of golden ore,
While he can hardly strive to keep
Gaunt famine from the door?
OF willing hands and honest hearts
Alone should men be proud
Then give him all the room nc needs.
And never try to crowd
Don't crowd the good from out your heart
By fostering all that's had:
| But give TO every virtue room
The best that may be had;
BE each days record such one
That you may well be proud;
! Give each his rights. give each his room
Aud never try 10 crowd.
We have another scheme which has
taught many 4 delinquent 10 become
prompt and valuable customer I; NAV
not always work bur onr plan has been
something after this fashion: We fund
the present indebtedness and secure the
same by plan OF guarantee or real es-
tale security. We then insist upon the
delinquent dlscounting all pnrchases.
whether OF us or Of other concerns in ad-

regular basis. We allow discount on all
his purchases and Insist upon his paying
interest upon the funded indebtedness,
which interest we collect either monthly,
quarterly or SENT annually We know
of a number Of cases. where. by careful
financing for good honest and industrious
men, Il has enabled them to become pros
/ Porous dealers
The question often arises. Where does
man become a delinquent" In my judg
meut he becomes delinquent the minute
he commences to lose hts discount, and

This circular stated that II each member

for our association On the other hand, II
one half. two thirds or three fourths OF

The News Letter does not serve the pur-
pose outlined by Its promoters un,ess Il
goes To each individual member OF the
Travellers Protective association, therefore
as II is a necessary adjunct to our asso-
citation It should be paid for out OF our
National treasury md without expense
TO an individual member. If a reserve
fund must be established and undoubtedly
1t ought to be. we should provide for
It out of the receipts of the association
and should DO anticipated by an amend
ment TO be offered IN due time for oonsid-
Grafton at our next National convention.
This is a business proposition and should
receive calm ard deliberate considera-
tlon by our National board of directors.

paid their subscription for 1890. also
how many have sent In so cents for 1900
