Retailers Are Warned to Pro-
tect Themselves Against
Change.

At a meeting Of the retail Srocers

tention of those present was called to
the fact that within the very near fu-
ture wholesale houses would elimn
ate from their books almost ali
charge accounts of more than thirty
days and that as self-protection.' the
retail merchants would be expected to
do largely cash business
Several of the leading Wholesale
houses OF Tulsa have already an
nounced that after December / they
will not open new accounts or carry
any customer for a period oI more
than thirty days and they have asked
the retailers, to protect themselves, to
inaugurate a like plan by which they
will aid the food administration.
Attention is called to the matter of
purchasing only enough stock to last
for period of from thirty to sixty
days and in this way, the retailers de
clare, they will be able to keen
fresher goods on the shelves and their
turnover will be greater with less
loss by long standing accounts.
In one instance the wholesale houses
have asked that customers refrain
from making charge telephone calls,
declaring that this item alone Is orfe
of no mean proportions annually and
its elimination will mean big saving
to the firm. Other matters of equal
importance will be brought before an
other meeting of the retail grocers to
be held next Monday evening.
