IL is said that the new system will
eliminate enough expense TO allow
the saving of Is per cent on the
dollar for the customers. II Is
rumOred that a number of other
Elkhart merchants viii follow this
plan In the near future as the losses
sustained from bad accounts and the
expense encurred by maintaining a

Although the new system may in
convenience a few at first, il is be
iieved that the reduction in prices
