"Running An Account
FOURTH STORY.
"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."
