CREDIT MAN TAKES
DIG AT GIVING OF
TOO MUCH CREDIT

what has become of the old
time man who's word was as good
as his bond? Who paid his debts
when he said he would? was the
opening remarks of Mr.. c. w. Har-
kins of the United Creditors Asso-
citation in his address before the
Rotary club of Winslow Wednes-
day. on Credits and Collections.
t'Why should the good credit Gus
toner and the cash buyer be taxed
unjustly because of the man who
does not pay?
Every credit loss must be charg-
ed against the merchants business,
the same as rent, light, heat, etc.
You and 1, when we buy from that
dealer, who allows bad debts on his
book must make up his credit
losses.
''It is a tax you don't want to
pay and one which we should not
be called upon to meet. This tax
is larger than that required to run
our government.
'Why?" asked Harkins, "can a
man secure credit from one mer-
chant, not pay his bill, go right
across the street and get more ac-
commodatiOn, because he CANDLES
that the second merchant does not
know he owes the first one, and in
all cases wins?
"Tell one another of the dead
beat, make his name a by-word,
let the world know he does not
pay, that he gets his living at the
expense of the public.
''The jobber makes you pay when
due Or your credit is shut off. Why
not treat your buyer the same?
Why should you, with your small
stores, try to conduct business
in a manner that would spell ruin
for bank, or jobber, if they, with
their resources, can't do it, how in
the world can you?
Find out all there is to know
about the man who ask for credit
You are entitled to, because you
are loaning him money. When the
debt is due, that is the time to
collect.
you have carried out your share
of the contract, by selling him the
goods on credit. See that he does
likewise by paying for them when
agreed. -
"The bank asks for it's money
from three to ten days before it is
due. That is good business. The
time to collect last months bills
is this month That is good bust
ness, but the merchant who lets
his bills run and run is headed for
the poor house, and the sad part
of it is that he wants us all to go
with him.
Getting rid of the dead beat is
easy" concluded Harkins. Throw
the fierce light of public opinion
on the man who does not pay his
bills, and he will either pay up or
leave. Either way you gain"

The sudden termination of the

had been expected that Garrett
would fight the charges. as he had

clear his name at the proper time.
His unexpected avOwal of the guilt
and his complete confession mo-

topic of converse ton among the
knots of citizens who gathered in

the trial.
The crowds remained in front of
the building throughout the after
noon and business in Rockville was

Meanwhile the tentative plan Is

Under the proposed pl&n ern.

ICE CREAM GONE
SALES NEAR
PEAK
Already Exceed Those During
Week Last Year, Velvet
Kind Makers Report

Friday promises to be the big
gest ice cream eating day in the
history of Washington. judging
from the advance orders received
bv the makers of Velvet Kind Ice
Cream.
One of the reasons for the big
demand is that we are now in the
midst of Ice Cream Cone Week
which will reach iLs climax on Fri
day when another 100000 airship
balloons are given away with
purchases of ice cream cones. Ihe
100, 900 balloons provided the drug
stores, confectioners and soft drink
dispensers in Washington yesterday
by the .makers of ice cream cones,
and the Velvet Kind ice cream
were distributed in a few hours and
it is expected that the rush Friday
will be even greater.
At the Velvet Kind plant today
it was estimated that more than.
500, 900 ice cream cones, filled with
delicious ice cream. will be con-
sumed in Washington by kiddies
and adults before the end Of this
week. The idea of having ice
cream retailers specialize on cone
selling for seven days was first in
troduced last year and resulted in
the sale of more than 12,OOO,O 900
cones throughout the country. Al
though this week is still young, 1t
is understood that the total cone
devouring already exceeds the total
for the entire week last year. Ice
Cream Cone Week was originated
for the purpose or popularizing the
quick, handy, sanitary and refresh
ing method Of eating ice cream.
Velvet Kind ice cream is sold in
a cake cone, which is a delicious
confection as we'll as container
for this universally popular Wash
ington.made ice cream. The Ice
cream placed in the cones is the
same high quality product made at
this plant for general commercial
sale
Although Velvet Kind ice cream
has always been of highest possible
quality, thousands of dollars re-
Gently have been spent to bring the
plant up to the last word in
modernity of equipment and method
of manufacture. so as to maintain
the quality standard. None but the
purest and freshest ingredients en-,
ter into the process of manufacture
and the supply of rich cream used
in making the Velvet Kind comes
from the company's own cream
cries. Purity of product is the
standard which governs the manu-
facture of this brand of ice cream
and is the foundation stone upon
which the twenty-eight Velvet Kind
plants have been built.
The human hand does not touch
the ingredients from the time they
are placed in giant watts and mixers
until the containers filled with the
ice cream are loaded on trucks for
delivery to the constantly increas-
ing number of retail dealers who
have many calls for it.
