D OR SOME TIME it has been apparent that it was becoming necessary to change the manner of con ducting our credit business. The old and time honored "ove-you-forever-rather-than-beat-you-out-of -it" plan of extending credit has been given a faithful trial, and we are frank to confess that it has proven a failure. We were content to carry a good part of our profits on our books, but when the accounts commence to increase at a far greater rate than the profits, it becomes neces sary that a radical change be made if we would continue in business on the lines which we have set' out to follow. Of course we could, like a great many other mer chants, fro behind with our bills to the wholesalers and lose the cash discount on our goods and pay interest besides. This would be burning the candle at both ends, and we have fully resolved that when we cannot discount our bills that we will discontinue business. We are still in a position where we can discount our bills, but we do not need to place our ear to the ground to be able to tell that the time is fast approaching when we cannot continue doing so under the present system. Our credit is of the best, both with the banks and wholesale houses, and we could get unlimited credit to carry us through any period of depression, but by so doing we would be tied up in such a manner that we would have to take what goods they had to offer and at such prices as they cared to charge us. We would not care to do business under such conditions. Under the old "hit or miss" plan of credit, the burden is all placed on the merchant, the strictly cash customer and the customer who pays his bill promptly each month. This is not as it should be, and it has the efrect of driving the cash customer tc the cash store, leaving the credit store with nothing but credit customers, upon which a business cannot live alone. In order to equalize conditions and place the burden where it be longs, we are going to reverse the proposition and give the customer the same terms as we get, or as nearly so as practicable. While we realize that a strictly cash store in the country could not succeed, we are going to get as close to it as possible, anil are going to give you all the advantages of a cash store combined with all the credit a person could reasonably expect. We have heretofore boon chiefly con cerned in doing a large volume of business, but hereafter we are going to iay more attention to the quality of our business rather than the quantity. n other words, we are iroinsr to tret the monev. and we are iroinir to get it on our terms, not on the customers'. Commencing with Dec. 1 si we will put into effect the following plan, and the auditions will be enforced to the letter Till; PLAN All purchases, cash with order, will be ;ien cash chocks showing amount i pur chase. I hese checks will he redeemed in amounts of $5 or more at rate of - per cent. All monthly accounts of f 5 or more settled in full on or before I i'th of month, discounted I per cent. Accounts under $5 due not later than 10th of month following purchase, no discount. No open account will he allowed to run longer than sit das. Open accounts which hae run sixty days, can by paying first thirty days account, run thirtv days longer and can he continued in same manner. Accounts which have run sixty days without payment as aboe, shall be taken up by note for not longer than ninety days and bearing 10 per cent Interest. I hese notes w ill be put in the banl. and draw n against and w e cannot be expected to take them up w hen they tall due, it w ill be up to y ou. No credit account will be opened with parties whit are financially irresponsible, or who would not be acceptable at the bank for small loans. II you feel that you cannot comply with these terms. In) NO I lit I Mi: (iOOI)S. as there will positively he no deviation. Sixty days free credit is all that could possibly be expected, and if you need longer credit you should arrange to get the money rather than ask the merchant to carry you indefinitely. If we are to carry this plan through successfully, and giv tin- dis counts and prices which we propose, we must have cur money at t ho end of sixty days. We have sufficient capital to give you this much credit if vou are worthy and need it, but when we have done this we have g'ne the limit. CONNAWAY MERCANTILE CO., nc. ODELL VA7 1
