The following from the Bel
trami Graphic is straight to the
point.
sCur merchants have made it
a point to educate their Gust
oners to pay cash and have not
allowed them to get into the
credit habit. They sell goods at
cash prices, which are, as every
one knows, lower tpan credit
prices. Buying on credit is a
habit, and a very bad one too.
1t drives more men to ruin than
drink or gambling. It is con-
tracted the same as the drink
and gambling habits are contract
ed a little now, a little more
next time, and the dose keeps on
growing until the victim is
irretrievably lost, then comes
the crash. 1t is the most Sc
ductive Of all bad habits. 1t
leadsa man to extravaganza that
he never would think of were he
paying the money out Of his
pocket every time he made a
purchase, And then it works
on a man S vanity. TO most men
it creates MISREPRESENTATION to
be able to say, "charge that to
me, land hear the merchant say,
"all right sir, is there anything
else" TT the merchants in new
localities would actI as. guardians
of their customers in Iithis re-
spect, hispernicious habit would
never get a foothold in..their COM
munities.
