THE WINGHAM .ADVANCE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1909.
The Credit System,
(Orangeville Banner.)
"The credit system has its place and
serves a very useful purpose in the
business life and relationships of a
community, At the same tune it may
t . '
be the weans of doing much tn]ur y►
particularly where it is abused. It is
an injury to the business than when
be is obliged to carry accounts for one
or two years and sometimes longer.
It gives an uncertainty to his business
and compels him to invest a larger
amount of capital, in order to carry it
on successfully. Business men are
prepared to allow their customers
credit for a reasonable time, but it is
only fair that there should be some
pretty well defined time limit. When
this expires, the merchant is entitled
to a settlement either by cash or nego-
tiable security, and it should not be
considered any offense if he insisted
upon such a settlement. He has to
pay for his goods at from thirty days
to three months from date of ship-
ment, and if he wants credit for a
longer term, he is obliged to pay for
it. If business men refused to grant
any credit at all, purchasers, who are
not always in a position to pay cash,
would be deprived of the accommoda-
tion that the credit system affords,
and would thereby be put to no in-
considerable loss and inconvenience.
Those who habitually abuse the sys-
tem, by allowing their -accounts to
run beyond a reasonable time should
remember that there is the possibility
that this abuse may make it necessary
for business men to protect them-
selves by refusing credit altogether."
There is a great deal of truth in the
above, and the Banner might have in -
eluded newspaper men with mer-
chants, for with many people, the
printer is the last person they think
of paying. Yet a live newspaper is
one of the most important factors in
a town's success. Many overlook this,
and forget that a newspaper cannot
be rim without cash, and a considera-
ble quantity of it too.
On the 24th of August the Presby-
tery of Owen Sound met in conference
on evangelistic work.
A. four-year-old child of Alex. Pat-
, terson, of Orangeville, was in a stupor
from Sunday until Tuesday from eat-
ing poppies.

that similar shoes were being offered }fere for 75
cents per pair less," -
Here is another :—"A Toronto lady (visiting in
Wingham) asked our price for wide black silk ox-
ford. laces—" Ten cents a pair," we replied. " Ten
cents!" she answered, in surprise. iGive me ` two
