"Merchants should not do any

Governor Sorlie's speech follows:

erably dependent on the merchants
Of that community. The business
people of the town have its destiny
in their hands; SO, upon your shout

farmers had to drive their OK teams

their goods. We passed from the OK
period into .he horse period, during
which the territory grew.

buyers that come to that center If

in Bismarck. You are all interested
in business and in the growth Of the
town. You are interested in having
money spent at home, where profits
go into building the schools, the
hospitals, the churches and other
institutions of Bismarck. So, in ad-
dition to instilling the trade-at home
doctrine in the minds of the people,
you should practice it as we'll.
"All of you want something you
do not carry in your own line of
business. Do not send away for it..
Buy it from your nearest neighbor.
As merchants we must cooperate and
work together to the extent that we
will help one another. Get along
with your competition here. 1t will
shut off competition probably far
worse than you have now. And be-
sides, competition is good for bust
ness; it helps development.
II have been asked about the his
tory of the Grand Forks Merchant
Association. 1t came about in this
way. Some years ago the grocery
trade organized Groceries Associ-
alton. The intention was not the
fixing of prices, but that was what
it developed into. which was not only
bad practice, but was also against
the law. After couple of years,
in about 1908 or 1909, the associa-
ton went out of business.
II was in the fuel business at

Forks, the Merchant Association
takes care Of that feature of mer-
chants affairs.
"The merchant is in business to
make money and to sell merchandise
at reasonable profit. If your loss
es become too great through bad
credit or non-productivc advertising,
the cost has to be added to the
price of merchandise. If you add
it to your merchandise and some
other town is able to sell for less,
then your chances of building up
your trading center arc not so good.
The more business you do and the
less overhead you run up, the cheap
er you can sell your merchandise.
In different towns the average per-
centaEe Of losses from poor accounts
runs all the way from one-fourth
of one percent to three percent. If
you run up to as high as three per-
cent, you have got to charge more
Tor your merchandise. Then you
are being handicapped in COMPETE
ton with a merchant doing business
on some other basis.
with a credit system we'll work
ed out you can cut the percentage
down considerably. am satisfied
that in Grand Forks our credit loss
es amount to only about one-half of
one percent. On that basis one can
afford to do credit or accommo-
datlon business, because it does not
cost 80 much and one is, therefore,
not handicapped in competing with
other towns.
"Ihs gospel l wish you would
preach and practice. Get all your
people to. trade at home. Get them
to trade at home because they want
to trade at home. Get them out of
this idea of sending away for every
thing. AS SO many gospels are. this
is preached much and practiced little.
We blame the big houses in the
east for attracting home trade. But
We should not blame them: they are
in that line of business. We should
not blame Mnot or Fargo or James
town for getting business that you
are entitled to in Bismarck 1t is
your fault if they get it. If you
put on the right educational campaign
reaching all your consumers, they
will trade at home. They have not
been approached in the right sales
manShip way.
But the practice Of this gospel
should start among you merchants.

banks which get security for the
money they lend. As merchants we
should not do any credit business;
it should all be accommodation
business.
when a man gets credit it is
some what similar to his owing YOU
money and giving you a note and
thinking it is paid. If you give Gre
dit, that is something that runs
along indefinitely; but if it is &C
commodation you give, the customer
will realize that accommodation has
lifetime, and once that lifetime
expires his chances as an accOmmo-
dation customer are ruined.
so say, let the banks do the
credit business; they are in that
line. We as merchants should not
waste our time with credit. But if
we have a system whereby VIC can
do an accomm oaation business, then,
of course, we are doing a service.
For being in business is not alto
gcther a selfish thing; itsis also do
ing a service to the community.

the credit work done through our
Merchant Association in Grand

has been operating for over twelve
or thirteen years. 1t happened to
be one of the pioneer merchant IS

a trial. | wanted the credit informa-
ton for my own business. And so
l developed what is now known as
the Grand Forks Merchants Associa-
tion.
81 ran that credit bureau for one
year. 1t cost me quite a bit of
money, but l got what l wanted; l
got all the merchants to rate their
customers I had this information
compiled in book form, furnishing
the names of people who were not
entitled to credit. II was naturally
quite an advantage to most Of them
to know whom they should not trust.
The following year we organized the
Merchants Association which is func-
tioning today and is probably one
of the best in this section of the
country. 1t has been parent or
ganization for asnumber of associa-
tions in Minnesota as we'll as in

have passed out OF that horse period
INTO the automobile period. The
territory YOU served when the hor-
ses were bringing in their customers
was paratively small compared
to the territory you are now serving
by having your customers come in
by automobile.
''For that reason you merchants
Of Bismarck have the destiny Of
Bismarck in your hands because You
have got competition. On the east
you can 90 as far as jamestown or
Fargo, and on the west you can go
to Dickinson or as far west as you
want to 90. On the north you arc
at least in competition with Minot.
Your territory is now what you will
make it. And You should make it
your business to attract business
from this larger territory that you
did not have before.
eve all know that the towns that
were in competition with Bismarck
in the horse era will only be small
marketing places in short time.
Merchants will have to go into the
larger towns to get business, because
they won't be in the class that trad
ing ccntcrs should be in for this au-
tomobilc period. SO bear in mind
that you have got to commence to
look for that territory and satisfy
people in that entire automobile ter
ritory. When you do that you can
eliminate lot Of competition, which
otherwise will be growing up. il
you don't get the business somebody
else will and tradingA center will
be built up in some other place.
GAS the roads get better your au-
tomobilc territory will grow even
larger. So you business people of
Bismarck today have got large job
on your hands to keep up with the
pace and get that trade that you
are entitled to, which the other
towns are going to reach out for if
you don't.
owe are living in wonderful
period for business and so many new
things are developing that we can
hardly keep pace with lot Of it;
but | feel that with the younger
generation getting into the business,
we will get the vision to see the
things that are coming.
"The people who are growing old
in the business do not see that other
side. They remember the period
only that they went through. But
we are living in new period and
business is being done in a new way,
SO we have got to adjust ourselves
to do business the way it is being
done today, and invite customers.

with regard to credit systems, l
would first of all change that word
credit and call it Accommodations

word "credit" was brought up from
the old school Of merchandising.
The merchant hasn't any business
doing a credit business. That may
sound fanny coming from me, for l
am in several lines of business: But
I do not call it credit, call it ac-
commodation. The point is we
should put credit where it belongs.
