mo man can do business Of any mag.

credit. but the very ease with which
credit may be obtained may be a pit
fall and one into which a good many
retail merchants have fallen and unless
human nature changes are likely to
fall in the future.
But there Is one safe course to fol-
low which at least will prevent COM
plications arising as a result Of care
lessness, and that is to adopt q rule to
pay every bill and interest account

just as easy as to omit doing so, and
loose ends Of debt accumulate In a way
that is surprising when full summing
up Is made Of them.
Then. too. 1t is true that II the debts
are left at loose ends some one may
take 1t into his head to gather the
loose ends together and so tie up the
man who should have looked after
them. This may be a bad metaphor.

the merchant, the best thing to do is
to pay all bills when due. even II to do
so you shall have to borrow the neces-

merit Of concentrating the indebted.
