GOING ON CASH
BASIS NOVEMBER

Owing to prevailing conditions it
has become necessary for us to cut
out the credit system of doing bust
ness.
The wholesale houses are COMPEL
ed on account of government license
to sell much Of their goods for cash
oils and gasoline have been cash
for some time and flour virtually So
Meats have always been cash.
Yet on all these articles we
have been extending credit to
our customers, which credit in many
cases has been abuced by being al
lowed to run for from sixty to ninety
days and some much longer, instead
OF being paid in thirty days as ex.
pected.
We do not wish to work a hardship
upon any, but as self preservation is
the first law of nature" it has be-
come necessary for us to either be-
come heavy borrowers or sell TO,
cash, and believing that the cash sys
tenn is the correct basis for doing bus
mess we shall positively extend no
credit after November /.
The credit system of business is
largely a habit, and like the liquor
habit is bad one. as the more we
get the more we want A customer
will buy a great deal more il they
can say "charge it," than if they took
the money right out and paid for
what they bought; the future always
locks bright, as "distance lends IN.
chantment 10 the view"
We have many customers that we
dislike very much to ask to pay cash,
but in justice to ourselves and know
