CASH VS. CREDIT
IN BUSINESS
The Gastonia Gazette dis
cusses the unpleasant subject
of bad accounts and collections
in a way that indicates the
people over there have their
troubles on this score too.
The Gazette says:
The age-old story of bad collect
ions and unpaid bills is being repeat
ed in Gastonia. Merchants bitterly
complain about their inability to col
lect what is on their books.
Individuals complain that they can
not collect what rightfully belongs to
them.
If there ever should come a time
when people would pay up promptly,
we would be living in a different
world.
It does seem that some people
would pay up or quit making bills
that they cannot pay If they can't
pay 'em, they ought not to make 'em.
Business firms are badly at fault in
many of these instances by allowing
customers to run up such large ac
counts without trying, to get settle
ments from them before they amount
to such large bills.
It is poor business, and extremely
foolish to pile up a large volume of
business in any line, putting it all on
the books, and then find that much of
it cannot be collected. This course
is the cause of the failure of a large
majority of the business enterprises
that go down in this country. More
and more this seems to be the course
the business of the country is taking.
It simply means that business is head
ed for the rocks. The business of
the country will have to be done on
. , . J!i
a cash Dasis, or our creuu ruics aim
regulations will have to be radically
reformed. It is all right to extend
reasonable credit and if bills are
paid promptly when due, no one is
hurt. The piling up of bills wnicn
are never paid, or which are allowed
to run for many months, is the cause
of innumerable business troubles and
worries and business disasters.
Undoubtedly, credit is the
most abused policy in the busi
ness world today. This state
ment is applicable to the entire
country, and not to Gastonia or
Hendersonville alone, i n e
weekly figures on business fail
ures in the United states wnicn
are supplied by the commercial
agencies indicate what the a
buse of credit does for a large
proportion of the business
houses of the country. The
extending of credit is responsi
ble for a large proportion of
business failures.
There are two classes of peo
ple who make a credit business
extremely hazardous those
who cannot pay and those who
will not nav. Nowadays, the
last named class appears to be
more numerous than the first!
composed of deadbeats peo
ple who get all they can on
credit without any intention of
paying,
avoid credit aa they would the
pestilence. People who will
not pay should be blacklisted
by every honest business man
and credit should never be giv
en them. ; L .?
. The subject of credit and its
abuse has been much discussed
in recent years and efforts have
been made by individuals, asso
ciations, and through' news
paper publicity, to improve
credit conditions. Apparent
lished. People who cannot
pay and people who will not
ly, very little has been accomp
pay continue to secure credit.
The solution of the credit
problem is not to be found in
discussion, but in a system of
doing business for cash. The
country is being rapidly driven
to a cash basis for business.
One of the strongest factors in
this trend is the chain store
system. One of the strongest
factors in the success of chains
is the fact that they do business
for cash. How can the inde
pendent retailer compete on a
credit basis with the cash
chains, losing as he does a large
proportion of his gross busi
ness each year in bad ac
counts? That is but one fact
in connection with the problem
of extending indiscriminate
credit.
CASH BUSINESS is the ans
wer to all the troubles encount
ered by business men, which
are due to the credit system,'

Dear Folks:
Eighty-five percent of the
people of the United State are
demanding the very thing we
are thinking about as we write
this letter good solid leather
shoes at a moderate price.
Not many people really want
to buy cheap shoes. They have
found that it doesn't pay.
Nearly everybody we know is
looking for the biggest value
he can get for his good Ameri
can dollars.
If we could buy shoes that
would give you longer wear,
better service, and more real
value than "STAR BRAND"
we'd buy them, but they don't
make better shoes than "Star
Brands" for the money.
Everybody can afford "Star
Brand" Shoes. They're mod.
erately priced, and the quality
and value is in them that's a
sure thing.
Solid leather shoes wear
longer there's no doubt about
that. They look better, too.
They are better for you to wear
better for us to sell and
that's why we sell "Star
Brands."
If you are looking for good
solid leather, long-wearing,
stylish shoes at a Reasonable
price, you needn't go 'a step
further than our store, and
we'd like the best kind to see
you and show you the new fall
patterns that are arriving ev
ery week from "The House of
Stars."
Be sure it's a "Star Brand."

Folks on the Farm
Are good judges of shoe values. Experience
has taught them that solid leather shoes
look the best, wear the longest, and are
the most economical. "Star Brand"shoes
are solid leather. They contain no
paper, no fibre, no leather substi
tutes of any kind. Thrifty,
sound thinking people look
for the Star on the heel
because "Star Brand
Shoes are Better."

KNOWS HIS
NEIGHBORS
Last week the News-Record carried
a little story, "Evil to Him Who Evil
Thinks," in whidh w.e related the
Sunday morning exploits of a prom
inent church member who lives in
No. 3 Township.
This Pharisee maliciously went out
in the early morning and shot down'
two innocent gray squirrels, brought
them home, skinned them and order
ed his good wife to cook them for his
Sunday dinner. Meantime he appears
at Sunday School, as if his hands
were clean of sin and crime.
We could have riven his name, but
left it to our readers to guess who
did thia dastardly deed. Our good
and congenial friend, Lee Tweed, of
Service Motor Co., was the first to,
turn in a correct guess. Lee recog
nized the criminal without the least
hesitation or uncertainty.
It is a pleasure to the Newa-Record
to commend the perspicacity of Lee
Tweed. Not only is he alert, bright,
quick, but he radiates good humor
and cheer in A manner compelling us
to wish there were more Tweeds, and
more others, just like Lee. . ' ' STR
