TRIES REVISION OF CREDIT SYSTEM

expected 10 increase the available working capital
from Is TO % per cent, making it possible for the
company TO do from 100000 TO sl2.oO00oO, more
gross business than present without any increase
in capitalization.
Under the company's old credit system. settle
ment for goods was made the basis Of one-third
of the the bill at the time Of shipment one
third in thirty days and the balance in sixty days
Under the new system, settlement is made as fol-
lows: Fifty per cent of the face Of the bill at time
of shipment 40 per cent in thirty days ana the
balance in sixty days. on other words. the COM
,a now, receives % per cent more cash inside the
first thirty DAYS than under the old system.
As the General Electric Company has been
Obliged in the last four or fV" years TO raise an
average of about 100000 new cash each year
solely to provide additional capital this is matter
of great moment to it. The management had some
hesitation over adopting the new system 1t was
said fearing loss of business, hut no falling on has
