It hae been said that three-fourths or nine -tenths, or
some such big proportion -the exact tigures do not matter -
of the business of the world is done on credit. -If this was
not true there wouldn't be min+ business done, for no cur-
rency system could be devised that would furnish enough
money to meet the needs of commerce if every artiele sold
had.to be paid for in actual cash. The amount of money in
circulation in the United States is only' $47 per capita and
this would not go very far if everyone had to keep enough
cash on hand to pez far all that he might buy.
The greateat of financiers need credit. They keep their
resources employed and at time* are in need of ready eitah.
The same thing is true at times of men of smaller means.
The eredit system, as it is used sometimes, especially in the
smaller communitiem, ie abused and works a seriane hardship
upon the business men of the town. Some merchants, to
avoid the Iola; that result* from auch abuse of the system or
possibly to enable them to sell goods at a lower price than
their competitors, operate strictly on a cash basis, but the
great majority of merchants in every community give those
customers who are responsible and honest the privilege of a
charge account and the chances are that some sort of a
credit system, properly safeguarded, will always continue
to be a feature of legitimate trade.
Ask Catalogue House tor Credit,
Vou who have a reputation in your community for
being at least fairly responsible and upright know that whet'
you desire it or need it yuu can obtain credit from at least
some of the merehatits in your town. But some time when
you are iu need of some article of merchandise and are a
little short of ready money, order what you want from a
mail order house in Chicago or some other city and tisk them
to please charge It till the first of the month. The experi-
ment will be interesting, at leaat, and the answer that you
reeeive may callow you to give a little thonglit to the differ-
eitee between triitting with the mail order house *one far -

Some mail order eoneerns are now operating a vo-ealled

will sell tertaiu merehandise •on the installment plan, but
they not only demand an initial cant] payment, but require
the purehaser to sign a contract which operates as a mort-
gage not only on the merchandiae purchased, but upon any
other property that the customer may possegs. There is
nothing in this system that hears any aimilarity to the open

mail order man when the occanion arisem and the responses
might be equally interesting. For instance, you, Mra.
Farmer, who bought that 601 of groceries from the eata-
logue house last month, might write the manager and ask
him to buy your butter and eggs. Of course, it would be
coneiderable more trouble to pack them for shipment to the
city than it is to take them in to your local grocer, who is
always ready to pay you the market price for them, but then
maybe the mail order man would pay you enough more than
the market priee to pay you for the extra trouble. And
then again, maybe he winfldn't.
And, then, there is that mowing machine that you, Mr.
Farmer, have been figuring on trading in for a new machine.
:Suppose you write to the mail order man from whom you
bought that wire fencing and. ask him WEat he will allow
you for yotir old machine- on a trade for a new one. Of
course, the local hardware dealer in the town where you find
a market for your farm productsivill allow you a fair price
for your old machine, but what's the use of asking him to do
it 7 The mail order man surely wiH be glad to do that much
for you, will he not f ?es, be will not.
List is Endless.
There are a good many things the mail order matt will
not do for you. The liat would be too long to crowd into
one issue of a newspaper. Ile will not give yon credit, how-
ever miteh you may need it. lie will not buy the farmer's
produee. • Ile will not nay to dollar of taxes to help support
your hatreds or build va•tir roods. Ile •vill not contribute it
eent to the enpport of your elitirehee or ymir charitable
institutions. He will not lend you a helping hand in time
of trouble.
The loeal merehanta in a community will do everything
for the people. in that eommunity that the mail order man
will hot do for them. This fact ahould make it. eamy for the
people of the community to decide which it, is to their inter-
est to do business with.
