The Cost of credit business.

OMAHA, July 29.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Referring to your article about the
Omaha grocers and butchers having formed
trust, ETC., thereby enabling them to
charge unreasonable high prices for food
stuffs, etc, the same article also refers to
certain parties who advertise that they
sell groceries and meats from 10 to 20
per cent less than the so-called trust stores
charge for the same goods. Be this as II
may. one thing is certain, that the cut
price means cash on delivery, while the
grocer and butcher in general do credit
business, which Is both expensive and
hazardous. Customers that buy on credit
could not justly expect to buy as cheap
as for cash, as it costs a credit store from
10 to 20 per cent extra to do credit business,
extra clerical work, collecting and loss on
account Of dead beats. etc.
The writer has had some experience in
this line Though l have never sold gro
ceries or meats). The first fifteen years
did business in Omaha 1 did a large
credit business, and made no money to
speak Of, but in the last twenty years
have done, a strictly cash business, and
made some money, while selling my goods
from 10 to % per cent cheaper than when
was doing a credit business.
BY cash buying and selling your GUS
toner is benefited as well as yourself, and
the sooner the grOcers and butchers re-
verse their mode of doing business the
better it will be. A great many say you
cannot do a cash business in small store
say you can, as l have tried 1t for
twenty years Price is what counts. Some
years ago newspapers in general tried to
educate the public to live on cash
basis. They also advocated that business
ought to be done for cash as much as
possible, but nowadays you never see
line on this subject, and as for the public
in general. the larger per cent Of them
are worse off than an Eskimo on an ice
floe, for the Eskimo catches his seal be-
fore he eats him, while the public in gen
eral have eaten up their months salary
before they have earned it, or, in other
words, living beyond their means, on the
installment plan. p. WIG.

Drug store Courtesy.
Safeguarding the sensibllties of custom
ers has been raised to an art in a Broad
way drug store. Customers feeling the
immediate need of a tonic are spared the
ignominy of public dosing. Before pre-
senting the draught the druggist estorts
the patient to little alcove near the tele-
phone booth.
Perhaps you would like to sep in here
to take it," he says. This alcove has
been set aside for that purpose. Many
people take medicine in a drug store but
nobody likes to swallow 1t with a crowd
standing around to see how 1t tastes.
Taking medicine is not a pretty action at
best. Some choke and strangle and nearly
every one makes faces. With a medicine
booth handy patients may perform all
those contortions to their hearts content"

PARENTS ARE RICH GERMANS
Man Claiming to Have Wealthy ReIa-

Bicycle i'll Racine.


In the municipal court in Racine
Tuesday there were developments in
the case of John Zimmerman, of Ke-
nosha, who stole $63 bicycle from
in front of a saloon at the corner of
Wisconsin and Fourth streets in Ra-
cine, which are interesting and proved
that Zimmerman is the son OF wealth.
people living in Germany and that he
has wife and child in that country,
the wife being worth $4,000.
Zimmerman pleaded guilty to the
charge of stealing the machine and said
that he was drunk at the time and did
not know what he was doing. Judge
Shielding sentenced him to the state
prison at Waupun, Wis, for a term
of one year.
Through his cousin, who acted as in
terpreter Zimmerman stated that he
left his native country more than
year ago. Ten months of that time he
resided in Kenosha. Being out of work
he went to Racine one day last week
and expected to get employment at the
Mitchell-Lewis Motor Company.
He visited the Fourth street saloon.
Outside and standing against the curb
were two bicycles. He mounted the
new one and rode away. Another man
saw him take the wheel and gave chase
but Zimmerman got into Kenosha and
tried to sell thas wheel for $3.50 and
was arrested and taken to Racine.
The eossin said tint amermaa
came from one of the best families in
Germany, but that he was addicted to
the liquor habit and left the country
because of that fact. The prisoner
said that he did not want to be punish
ed on account of the wife and child and
that if let go he would return to Ger
many and never come to America
again.
Stories of the wealth of Zimmerman
came as considerable of surprise to
the people who knew him in Kenosha.
Since the man has been in this city
he had been v{ry ordinary factory
worker and his habits of life had not
indicated that he had ever known the
touch of fortune. The man had been
drinking heavily for some time before
he left Kenosha to go to Racine.
Zimmerman has no relatives in Ke-
nosha and he had lived at a German
beading house since coming to this city

Powder Co. Not Able to Oper-
ate Plant at Pleasant Prai-
RE for Many Months
DEMAND ENFORCEMENT OF LAW

The people Of the village Of Pleasant
Prairie win have at least six months
more respite from the powder mills as
it is announced this morning that it
will take this long to get the plant in
readiness for operation. The buildings
which are to be used have nearly all
been rebuilt and it was the expectation
of the company that the making of
powder could be started at the plant
about the first of December, but when
the architects began to meet the physi-
cal conditions demanded by the new
state law for the regulation of powder
plants they found that it was almost
impossible to meet all the conditions
and the erection of barbados and the
digging of pits as demanded by the
law will require at least six months
more. The people Of the village have
been advised that the plant will be
completed strictly in keeping with the
PAoNlolono VI bu6 law anu GHdG HOG q
pound of powder will be manufactured
until after the plant has been inspect
ed by the heads of the Wisconsin state
factory inspection department. The
officials Of the powder company will
insist that the proper officials of the
town of Pleasant Prairie and the state
make the inspections Of the plant de
mandad by the law and that these in
spectlons be made at regular intervals
The company holds that the inspection
will go long way to relieve them from
blame in case of future explosions and
for this reason viii insist that the law
be observed to the letter.
