fhEArER TICK FITS THAT
HANGED STORE POLICY

The purchase OF thenter tickets for
cash, and the realization that pleas
Tres of life are seldom secured on
credit. caused John Taylor. n dry goods
merchant. Kansas City. to change from
credit to n cash basis in merchandise
! ing. Taylor huilt up one OF the big
s"st cash dry goods stores In tho
united States Rut he had to be con
vertcd To the cash system.
How that conversion took place In
related by friend OF Mr.. Taylor. This
friend once asked Mr.. Taylor how he
happened to change from credit to cash.
Mr. Taylor said.
We'll. one night went with my
:wo brothers TO theater. l stepped
vi to the window TO buy the tickets,
! he ticket seller named tho price and
! laid down my money. AZ that In
slant the idea hit ma. why do have
to pay cash for my theatcr tickets and
Yet can't sell my dry goods for cash Z
1hat idea kept bu1xtng around In my
head all during the performance, I
made mental note that for virtually all
the pleasures OF life. such aH shows AMI
dinners and travel and entertainment
people pay cash. while tho STAPLES and
necessities OF life thy buy on credit. IT
didn't look right to me.
The next day ] told my brothers
what / had been thinking and we re-
solved right then and there II people
could AFFORD 10 pay Gosh for the pleas
Hies 81. itfe there wan no reason why
they should object 10 paying cash for
the necessities Of life. Wa went on a
cash basis and have been there ever
since"
