could not be taken up by implement
dealers, although there we're some
dissenting opinions, some holding
that autos would eventually supplant
buggies and We're in the direct line
of implement dealers.

where it could be determined wheth-
er his claim was just or not, and if
it was the amount could be refunded
or credit given on the books. This,
he said, was one great leak in the
manufacturers business that had
to be watched very closely. Another
innovation that he thought ought
to be introduced in the implement
business was the shorter term of set
tlement which ought to control
among the dealers. Under the present
system, he said, accounts between
manufacturer, jobber and dealer
stood for a period of from is to 20
months before final settlement was
effected, and during all this time the
manufacturer was without interest
on the money that he had invested
in his goods. He stated that the
manufacturer was denied the long
term OF settlement with the steel
companies, and that it was not a
fair proposition to extend the long
term OF settlement to the dealer and
the dealer to the farmer. He said
as a general proposition that the
farmers of the country were in a
splendid financial condition and that
they are able to make an earlier set
Element for agricultural goods on
shorter terms. He believed the deal
ers ought to take up this matter and
try to get the business nearer to a
cash system. There was no question
he said, but what the farmer could
afford to go to the bank and borrow
the money at a less rate of interest
to pay for his agricultural imple-
ments than he could to buy on time
of the dealer and pay the larger rate
of interest. In conclusion Mr.. Thomas
took up the subject of the cost of do
ing business, and this he found to be
a very important factor that was
overlooked by a very large percentage
of dealers, and he found its absence
in a business institution the main
reason for SO many failing in business
in the course of a year. He declared
that after investigating and securing
statements from reliable business
men that the cost Of doing business
in the agricultural line at least
amounted to from 20 to Is per cent.
and this he claimed should be the
basis on which the general business
should be conducted. He said that
it was a very important matter for
the dealer to know Just what his ex-
pense is in the Dur Of a year and
figure his profit accordingly.
At the conclusion of the address
the delegates remained in the hall
for half an hour which was spent in
the renewal of acQua;ntances among
the dealers and formation OF new
ones.
