new system of keeping accounts that
will place the cash and credit custom
ers on their proper basis. This store
is competing with cataloE houses and
expects TO compete with them, and in
doing SO the store desires the same
consideration from the customer that

conduct credit business.

give the cash customer a liberal dis
count on everything ne buys The
store will be perfectly willing to ex-
tend 90 days credit To those deserving
liz. but the credit customer will not be
given the discount. The discount
given on cash purchases will be in real
money and is not based on any future
trading or premium proposition.
The new plan Of handling accounts,
while new to Belding, is now used by
hundreds of stores throughout the
country with entire satisfaction both
10 the merchants and the customers.
1t does not discriminate against the
cash customer
The T. Frank Ireland company has
taken large space in the Banner
this week to explain the new plan. Mr..

STOUT WAS RELEASED
JUDGED NOT INSANE

Papers we've granted last week by
Judge Webster. discharging from fur
ther custody Chas. j. Stout Of Belding,
who has been detained twice during
the past month at the county Jail for
investigation as to- his mental condi-
tion. Stout is deaf mute, and while
perhaps a trife eccentric by reason of
his lack OF faculties, appeared other
wise perfectly sane TO the court and
examining physicians when brought
before them on Monday. He is pos
sessed OF a remarkable ability to read
the lips. says Judge Webster and can
translate every movement of the lips.
This ability is thought by the Judge
to account for some of the mans ac-
tions. as when he reads the lips Of
persons who are conversing in regard
TO him he becomes angry and flies
into a sudden rage.
Mr.. Stout was taken before Judge
Webster on complaint OF his wife who
feared that he might do her or some
of the family bodily harm.
