A Double Hardship in Retail Cred
iting.
New Bern journal.

New Bern Journal
How often is the daily report made
to the retail merchant by his collec-
tor "could not collect one dollar
todav?" What is the cause OF poor
collections? Several things. People
have been away and spent too much.
At this season there is the extra buy
iuo of winter necessities, and this
makes old accounts wait for pay
ment. 1t is the retail buyer, that is
the cause, as a rule, OF hard money
collections, locally. No merchant
that is doing business would feel it
hard to pay his accounts, il the re-
tail customer paid cash. 1t is during
the between seasons periods that re-
tail crediting is felt so severely by
the merchant. A book account is
presumed to be an asset. 1t is only
one when it is paid promptly upon
presentation, better still, when paid
over the store counter within thirty
days. =,
There may be the excuse for retali
creditins. 1t is not, make the case
in New Bern, the Application, any
thing more than the retention OF a
bad business method? 1t is not still
carried on by Mr.. Grocer because Mr.
Butcher does? Is it a question o
business ability, to continue a trade
habit that is obsolete in real CONNER
cial cities?

Uncle Remus's Magazine for No

The current number Of Uncle Remus
MAGAZINE has a cover design most ap-
propriate to the season for it represents
a rabbit in furious flight as though seek
ing to escape from an unseen hunter.
But. unlike the regulation rabbit fleeing
from the November hounds, this one
bears a shield of Uncle Remus's Maga-
zine clasped close to his breast and is
clothed in the garb OF man. 1t is not
difficult to imagine that he made good
his escape from the unseen foe and joined.

known comrades-hrer Fox and Brer

The drawing is By r. ]. Dean and is
full OF movement, life and artistic grace.
The contents of the Magazine fully sus-
tain the interest created by its outside
page. and its table OF contents shows
such we'll known literary names as Joel
Chandler Harris, Don Marquis, Frank L.
Stanton, Mary E. Bryan and Jacques

A feature of especial interest is brand
new Uncle Remus story, which tells how
'sBrer Rabbit Has Trouble with the
Moon" Like the cover. this story il
also illustrated by Mr.. r. J. Dean, and
the attractive drawing lends addeo
charm to the delightful tale.

do soto give him money to meet his
bills. But there are the periods
when nearly every account is difficult
to collect. The time when the collec-
tor makes the daily report OF mo
collections. Unless the merchant is
financially armed for these periods,
and they occur quite often, he will be
in no position to make a successful
fight Then must come the forced
sale OF some line for cash, to tide
over, the sacrifice of goods to pay
the necessary bills outstanding, and
this is likely to mean the loss OF
profits that seemed to be upon the
ledger. The retail merchant OF New
| Bern should get out of the credit
system. 1t may seem a difficult thing
to do, but once accomplished, it will
surprise the merchant that he ever
endured the credit system. The dollar
in the cash drawer will look, and VIII
be a live asset. The dollar on the
ledger is q problematical asset only
a possible certainty in the good sea-
son.
