this journey.

FALLS CITY IN 1911

asked the merchant where he could
make a good loan. After a fen
moments OF |deliboration the mer-
chant had nerve enough TO tell him
that he knew Of one place that he
could place some of his money and
walking back to his books, told him
that he could use some OF it in pay
ing his account. The mar was in
elined to be angry, but finally paid
his account.
The railroads will not do a credit
business, nor the express companies.
and but few Wholesale concerns will
give more than sixty days time. No
business can give long time and sur
viye in the end. The cash business
house will weed you out. You cannot
sell goods to a mar on long time.
without serving as his banker as
well as his merchant. You cheat
the banker out of his profit. The
customer should be made to go to
the banker for the loan and pay your
accounts and if the banker will not
loan him money, then you should not
sell him goods. Your goods are as
valuable as the bankers money, and
why should you take a chance in sell
ing to a customer on time hat the
banker would not loan money to.
Few persons realize the amount of
the accounts carried on the books of
the merchants of Falls City. A con-
s~ervative estimate would place the
amount of such accounts, past sixty
days old, at V e 5000, 900. In most
cases these merchants are owing note
at their banks for this amount, which
they could pay off if their customers
would pay their accounts. 1t seems
virtually a case, where the merchants
are borrowing money and paying in
terest on the debts that are due them
Business will not be an entire sue
cess in Falls City, till the business of
the town is put on a cash basis.
This cannot be done till a few old
time, fogy business men in this city
are either broken up through their
old-time notions of giving time to
their customers, or swamped fran an
over-stock of dead capital in the
way of old accounts.
When the business interests Of the
town wake up to the true possibilities
of transacting business on a cash
basis. then the town will take on an
up-to-date aspect, and soon out-dis-
lance the mailorder house in this vic
unity.

The Falls City tribune., 1910-12-16

I came to Falls City in the early
autumn of 1868, coming by waay of
Rulo, which at that time was a much
better trading point than this.
We came up on a little two seated
mail wagon and driven by Alex Kerr,
who | think died in Omaha not long
since. My first view of the town
site was from near the Steele farm.
From there looking west it looked
fine. The country although sparing-
ly settled, to me seemed very promis-
ing and | concluded to east my lot
with the people here and sem for
my wife who was then with her par
ents at Sparta, Wisconsis. | bought
a little stock of goods that belonged
to Wilson Maddox and leased a new
building that he had nearly complet-
cd, opposite the court house. At
this time we had to get our goods
or did, mostly by boat to Rulo and
haul from there by wagon.
In 1871 I sold my interest in the
business to Capt. Brannin, father of
our worthy townsman, d. P. Brannin.
In the meantime we had all been
working hard to get a railroad from
the south or east. Bonds were voted
for a road to run up on this side of
the Missouri river and another
through the county west or northwest
Small as our town was at the time
they paid ten thousand dollars, not
by bonds, but in cash, given by the
residents to help get the road
through. The first ten miles from
Rulo to this point was rushed through
in order not to forfeit the bonds. Ev-
cry one was interested, all were
boosters, no knockers.

Mr.. Towle's plea for a cash basis

The Matter With Falls City.

The Matter With Falls City.
What hurts Falls City. from a bus
mess standpoint, more than anything
else? believe that the credit sys-
tenn of doing business is the worst
feature of business life in Falls City.
Why should a retail dealer sell goods
to a man and wait for months for
him to pay his account? A dealer
does this just because he thinks his
competitor will do this and get the
business from him when he could do
his competitor more harm by letting
him have these long time accounts
and look after the cash business for
himself.
When a retail merchant buys a bill
of goods from a wholesale house, he
gets thirty days and in some cases
sixty days time on the bill. If he
cares to pay this account within ten
days from its date, he is usually al
lowed two per cent discount on it,
which means two per cent rebate OF
each dollar. But If he does not pay
this account in the thirty or sixty
days, the Wholesale dealer then sends
a sight draft on him to the local
bank which is an order for the local
bank to collect this money, and send
it in to the wholesale dealer.
No retail merchant likes to have a
sight draft sent to him through his
local bank, but with the system OF
accounts in use in Falls City, very
few business houses in Falls City
have escaped this the past year. if
they were doing a large volume Of
business.
Now if the local merchant must
pay his accounts in thirty or sixty
days, why should not the purchaser
pay what he owes the local merchant,
The first of every month? Why should
the merchant carry these accounts
several months, or eve a year or
two? The banks will not let their
notes so long past the time they are
due, So why should the merchant do
so?
If you buy goods of the mail order
houses, you must send the money in
advance, even before you see the
goods. If you would deal with our
local merchants in this manner they
could sell goods much cheaper,
When a merchant sells a bill of
goods to a purchaser on time and
places this account in his ledger, then
this account is the same as so much
dead capital, buried in the ground,
drawing no interest, nor doing good
to any person. The goods had better
be in the hands of the merchant than
to have the account in the ledger.
The goods stand a chance of finding
a cash customer. No one will buy
the accounts. When goods are sold,
the merchant must replace them and
Ii takes cash to do this. Accounts.
win not buy new goods for the mer-
chant and his account serve as a
milestone around his neck, instead as
an asset to his business.
The majority of people buying
goods on time do so from habit. They
usually have money in the bank, but
like to keep it there, as a show to
their banker and as a help to their
credit. Some people keep their mon
ey 20 loan out, wen when they know
they owe some of it. 4 case of this
kind occurred in Falls City a short
time ago. a man came into a store
where he traded and where he had
owed an account for several months.
He had some money to loan. and
