"I'm mighty glad to get back to Centerville," said The Rolling Dollar to the 1900 Dollar, "That Scott Valley is no place for me. Poor crops there this year, so the merchants have lots of business. That is no joke ei ther Those people send all their money away when they have any, and when there is no cash for money or ders they still have to eat. Where do they go? Why, to the merchant they passed by when they had the cash. "Four years ago there were twice as many stores in Scott Valley, but the mail order bug bit the people so the stores closed up. Everybody was busy saving money by buying from the catalog houses. "Now crops are poor and cash mighty scarce. So the folks are going to the few storekeepers left and asking for credit and getting it of course. Yet the merchant has to borrow money from the bank to pay his bills be cause he is carrying such a load of credit for a man who isn't patronized when you have the cash can't be expect ed to have much ready money when cash is short. "The bank would not loan the most of them enough to live on for a year, or until the new crop came in, so the storekeeper is the only crutch to lean on. Where would those people be if the stores had closed up? "Over on Plains Creek conditions are different. It is a new country, and like Scott Valley the farmers de pend on one crop. But they realize that without the stores they would be gambling with little to gain and everything to lose.. Public sentiment js all against buy ing elsewhere. If the merchant has not in stock what is wanted they expect him to get it for them. Conse quently the merchant can carry the farmers until they' get their crop money, and nobody suffers physically or financially. Plains Creek people know they would be cutting their own throats by patronizing the mail order houses and forcing their stores out of business. The storekeeper is really the banker of the community, but he is willing to be as long as he gets a fair shake. "A catalog house has only two ways of selling, 'Cash with Order' and 'Collect on Delivery.' Where the farm er has to wait a year for his money and pay interest so that he can give those people what they must have until they get some cash again. And then he won't see them in his store again until the crop fails another year. "I wish one of those Scott Valley people would ask a mail order house for a year's credit- The clerk who op ened the letter would fall dead." Copyright, 1914.
