The Greeley tribune., 1906-01-11
RIGHT OR WRONG?

An editorial in recent issue OF
the Tribune upon the subject OF ex-
cessiye credits in Weld county has
provoked considerable comment and
some criticism, and the accuracy OF
the figures there given has been ques-
toned.
The Tribune would not knowingly
misstate the facts, and it is possible
that the writer's estimate Is TOO
high. We hope it is. Yet, as ac-
curate and complete data upon the
subject is practically out OF the ques-
tion, it depends greatly upon the
estimators point Of view. To the
lumber dealer, whose every sale,
even to the last hair in the plaster,
is protected by a lien upon the
debtors home, and to the veteran
merchant who has learned by bitter
experience the frailty Of human
promises and has his own extensive
blacklist of deadbeats and slow pay
customers, the percentage Of losses
as given must seem enormously and
unreasonably overstated. But the
physician, the small meat dealer
and grocer, as we'll as the new busi-
ness firm, which at once picks up a
bunch of deatbeat trade that cannot
get credit anywhere else, will prob
ably insist that the Tribune was too
conservative.
Upon one point, however, all seem
agreed. The line of credit trade
carried by Weld county business men
is entirely too large, and the losses
are large enough. The merchants
are compelled to do banking busi-
ness in addition to selling goods, and
that in many cases without either
security or interest. The old, heavy
firm with plenty of capital and ex-
perience may be able to stand 1t;
but how about the others? Look up
and down Greeley streets and make
mental note Of the new firms that
have started in business the last five
years. How many have grown into
good strong houses? Not many have
failed, 1T is true, and those who did
may trace 1t principally to whiskey
or poker or general cussedness, or all
three; but more than one firm that
has gone out of business during that
time did so because it was not pre-
pared to do a banking business.
A man high in the councils of the
Weld County Credit Mems associa-
tion is authority for the statement
that. business men of this county are
carrying almost a million dollars
upOu lIicll UOOkS. uluCll VI Ills
sum, land this last is our statement,
not his, is unsecured, and pays no
interest. a business man pays ten
per cent fol- money. The interest or
a million dollars at ten per cent is
one hundred thousand dollars an
nually. So If there were not a
penny of loss from bad debts this
interest item alone would run close
to ten per cent Of his long credit
business where not collected. and,
added to the actual loss makes a
sum that is appalling.
1t is we'll that buyer and seller
look the issue square in the face !;
and that one decides to buy less on
time, the other to insist on prompter

steamers OF the Niagara Navigation
Company. These steamers run from
Queenston down the Niagara River
and across Lake Ontario to Toronto.
The sail occupies about three hours.
On the American side at the mouth of
the river is old Fort Niagara, which
played an important part in the early

that La Sale erected palisaded

building the "Cataraqqui' the first
