During our resolution making and now that wo expect to start with a clean record, forgetting our evil habits, hab-its, why not remember our creditors. Ono of tho worst habits that is found in our midst today, ono that is moro unlvorsai than all tho rest, is the habit of running accounts. Charging, If you please, everything wo purchase. purch-ase. Many times credit is extended by tho business man to his customer. custom-er. Goods aro received nnd a book account Is entered. Perhaps not in all instances, but it can bo said with certainty that In many cobcs credit is secured by porsons who are well ablo to pay tno uccount at tho tlmo tho purchase Is mado. This system Is vory objectionable Bills should bo mot promptly when they become duo. It works a hardship upon tho merchant and brings embarrassment upon the person recolvlng tho favor whun thoy nro not. Why not mnko ono of our resolutions covor this habit hab-it of "standing-olt" tho creditor? If wo would resolvo to settle our accounts ac-counts nnd commence tho now year with a clean sheet before us, wo would not only mako ourselves hap- p but wo would go a long way toward to-ward making this a better place in which to live. The business man needs his capital and ivo as American citizens nro proud when wo look the wholo world In tho face and say that wo owo not any man. |
