1T PULLED

There is no longer any doubts in the
minds of the publishers and crew of
this newspaper as to the pulling power
of an advertisement in the Courier
Reporter. In the "Way Down East"
advertisement of the Liberty theatre
last week we printed, in the smallest
type in the shop, the price of balcony
seats for the evening show would be
so cents. The price should have been
a dollar. The ad pulled all right. Most
everybody wanted balcony seats and
the Courier-Reporter force has apollo
gized so much that they have develo-
ped Charley Horse in their linguistic
organs. .s

THIRTY DAYS
IS LIMIT OF
LOCAL CREDIT
Veunewick Merchants Assn. Or
oanized for the Purpose of
Reducing Credits
MIST HAVE THE MONEY
wholesalers will no Longer Garry
Merchant who is Forced to Shut
Down on Customer

with the organization this week of
,ha Kennewick Merchants Association
louo.time credit at any of the local re-
tail mercantile houses is to be thing
Il the past. With the exception of
those business houses which have been
ouerating upon a strictly cash basis
nractically every retail dealer in the
eity has joined the new association
and has become party to the plan
to limit credits absolutely to thirty
days.
In adopting this plan the Kennewick
merchants are following movement
that is general throughout the coun-
try. They point out that is is no long
er question of whether or not a
customers credit is good, but of ques-
ton Of necessity on the part of the
merchant who can no longer buy goods
without the money.
The wholesaler has shut down on
the retailer and he is passing the cur
tailment Of credit on to the customers.
Some Of the wholesalers have gone on
strictly cash basis, others require
payment of all accounts twice month
and with very few exceptions none will
extend credit beyond 30 days.
In carrying out the new credit plan
the association will maintain a secre-
tary, one whose duties will be to each
month compile a list of all those who
have not paid their local bills for the
previous month. These lists will be
compiled on the eleventh of each
month and all those whose names ap-
pear on the delinquent list will be re-
fused further credit until their back
bills have been paid.
The organization of the new asso-
clatlon was completed Monday night
at meeting in the Princess theatre.
G. +. Winkenwerder was chosen pres
ldent; =. M. Sly, vice president; S. III.
Whltehorn, sec'y, and E. S. Mcdonald,
treasurer. The affairs of the associa-
uon will be directed by an executive
committee composed Of these officers
and the three following members, A..
Smith, William Spofford and Geo.
Y. Sherk. The membership fee was
ned at one dollar and the monthly
'ues will be fixed by the executive
eommlttee upon an assessment basis,
aen firms assessment being deter
mined by the volume of credit busi-
lss it has been transacting.
