Almost every business man in
the town of Zurich as in other
towns, is handicapped by the credit
system. It svouid be much better
for there, and their customers as
well., if business was done on a
strictly cash basis. Losses that are
incurred through credit have to be
made up somewhere, and in the
majority of cases oustoiiagrs bear
them, indirectly. There At little or
for retaining he credit
no excuse stem x g it t;� d
sys,tasin to -day., It . was,, ppi;c,A5ary.
when the country' was new, and
settlers hard up, but it is not nec-
essary to -day, and the interest of
both buyer and seller would be en-
hanced if it was abolished. ' If the
great buying coaaniunity would de.
tide to pay Dash it would take a
load off the shoulders of every
business man ; it would make busi-
ness more satisfactory to all con-
cerned. Why not every individual
for himself decide that he will pay
cash hereafter?
