citation for Improving the Condition
of the Poor, Alfred D. Woodruff, OF
the Bureau of Food Supply, gave a
startling account iof what happens
when the grocer Charges it"
I'VE have found" said Mr.. Wood
ruff. that only about 80 per cent.
pay their bills promptly in thirty
days; IS per cent. take from one to
three months to pay: 40 .per cent.
never pay in full. and per cent.
never pay at ALL" With such draw
backs to the credit system IT Is not
astonishing that grocers go bank.
rupt in spite of high nominal profits.
Mr.. Woodruff thinks that II wo-
men will pay as much attention to
domestic economy as to dress,
bridge parties and tango teas" II
they will pay cash, buy in,large guam
| ties,and test short weights.s.' not less
than % per. cent. might be deducted
from the gross profits.''' BIZ
II Is only the exceptional woman
in New York who has room to, store
in proper manner. supplies bought
intbulk, ior time to make a study Of
market conditions; the percentage
Of. ,housekeepers who devote much
time! to dress, beyond what is neces:
sary. or to bridge and tango teas, is
small Indeed. Let this small eie.
ment take heart Mr.. Woodruff's ad;
vice II they wish. The average flur.
ried housewife will go on doing the
best she knows how within her con.
ditions. SO &c: e 8
Something could be done if grocers
themselves would substitute weekly
for monthly payments and shut
down upon long accounts. 1fthey' do
not, 1t Is hardly fair to blame the
customers alone. New York, World!
