COLUMBUS PAPER APPROVES
PORTAGE GROCER'S SYSTEM
Columbus Democrat Comments on
Method of a Portage Grocer

The Welsch grocery at Portage,
Wis, has introduced cash and carry
system. If customer pays cash he
is allowed five per cent discount. and
if he carries home the purchased ar
ticle this saves the cost Of delivery
for the groceryman and the latter al
lows another five per cent. This
groceryman is making money both for
himself and his customers, for it
costs more than five per cent to send
out bills each month and make col
lections, and also more than that
amount to deliver the goods. The cost
to a store in giving credit and free de-
livery Of goods often proves a big
item of expense, especially when some
of their customers allow the bills for
goods delivered to remain unpaid foE
long time. The above system is just
what we are now and in years gone
by have been advocating T. Clava
datscher, Baraboo.
