The customer that pays then and there for what he gets, seldom buys what he does not need. If there is a cash discount the "Ready money" customer gets the benefit of it knowing that he will make money by saving money. The cash customer can demand the time «nd attention of the mer chant, can buy such goods as suits his fancy, or fits his purse, todays expenses ate paid, no need ot dreading tomorrow \\ hen 1 cash customer steps into a store he is given a pleasant greeting, willingly and patiently waited upon then, when his purchas es ate carefully wrapped and delivered, he is cordially invited "C"ine again."
