THE GUARD ON ENGLISH.
The purist of journalism, the
CoD-ige Grove Sentinel, prints this.
“The Eugene Guard ami The Rai
nier Review found 4 procociou.-i ’ |
used in our columns, in the spell
ing of the word The Sentinel
could have used an 4e’ out of
‘proceedure’, a word that appeared
in The Guard during the past week.
That evens the score with The
Guard
for the nonce.”
True
enough; quite so. But if memory
serves aright The Sentinel’s use
of “procorious” (which, singularly
enough, rhymes with atrocious) was
in the form of un editorial com
meriting on the feet that although
“precocious” was a word often
used, the editor had searched all
the dictionaries in Cottage Grove
for it, with complete lack of sue
cess. We ran alibi 44proceedure
as a typographical error.
The Sentinel do as much for
cocious’’!—Eugene Guanl.
The Sentinel regrets ths
usually reliable and always highly
esteemed Guanl should demonstrate
such a faulty memory. Our
are open and, if The Guard
find where The Sentinel sii«l
The Guard attempts to quote j it ns
having said, we shall try to
prove
that. 4‘precocious”
and
The
44atrocious” do not rhyme,
misspelled word was used, as The
Guanl may learn by consulting its
own files, in an editorial squib
complimenting The Guard under
its present management.
We dislike verv much Io take
advantage of The Guard this way,
but it seems to us it lakes a stretch
of the imagination to alibi “pro
ceedure” as a typographies I error.
In the sen - • i.i which the cvpns
sion is generally used, it refers only
to unwitt’ng errors.
Spelling it
“proceednn ' is too common rn
error to be Di'is defended, hi f-r t.
toJat.
Briefly this—A merchant agrees to
loan the purchaser a bill of goods to be
paid for in cash in 30 or 60 or 90 days.
Then the merchant, operating charge
accounts, is in reality in the Loan Busi
ness. Yes, and with definite rates of
interest which he collects.
How does he collect interest? By
adding to the retail price the prevailing
bank loan rate on money, plus his pre
vious rate of losses sustained through
unpaid accounts (usually 5 per cent on
sales volume), plus his overhead cost
of collections and bookkeeping ex
pense. The customer must always
pay these extras.
To Pay Cash As You Go Makes It
Possible for you to enjoy the freedom
of purchasing wherever you can save
most.
Have you ever noticed how much
more courteous and painstaking sales
people are in stores where a Cash Sell
ing Policy is maintained!
