. How many grocers could puplicate
this piece of experience, in substance
if not perhaps in the identical' parti
culars ! The man in ' trade has his
full share of the hardships of life, and,
without wishing to draw a gloomy
picture, it may be said that the tri
bulations, and trials of temper to
wVvio ithej grocer; is subjected would
make a formidable ' list if they could
le fully ' catalogued.'.. Slow sales, de
preciated stocks, unlucky purchases,
periods of dullness, reduced margins,
heavy rents and taxation, perhaps
dilatory help, are but few of the dif
ficulties ot merchants as a class, to
which of course must be added the
mniy private anxieties . and worries
belonging to every human being.
One of the causes of trouble po
pularly supposed to be most active
in rendering the merchant's life not
ahappp one, is the caprice of cus
tomers. Some men who pride them
selves on their diplomacy behind the
counter say that every customer re
quires some separate knaok of treat
ment, and without unnecessary min
cing and refining on the subject it is
easy to see that observation of char
acter coupled with tact will go a
great way toward making a trades
man popular and retaining custom.
The world is full of people who think
that the bestowal of their patronage
buys the privilege of dropping cour
tesy, indulging iu plain speaking to
the verge of rudeness, of giving all
sorts ot trouble' and Inflicting all
manner of whims on the patient pro
prietor or his clerks. However, the
dealing with these manifestations of
character is matter or business ana
ivelihood the man of sense tides
over such difficulties as adroity and
successfully as be may, and they are
not legitimately to be classed with
the serious troubles of business life.
The real and serious difficulty arises
with the customer who, whether good
or II tempered, easy or hard to suit,
are unsatisfactory in the great re
quisite, vis., payment This, where
credit is giving is a matter ofexpe
dency and necessity, ia the grocer's
principal grievance, compared with
which all others growing out of rela
tions with customers are light, land
are not likely to disturb his slumbers.
It ia not uncharitable to say that
the majority of a merchant's bad-pay
customers belong to the 'class that
the versifier above quoted had in his
mind. Poor people, it is true, some
times have! their income cut .off
through bo fault of their own, and
ioasmupb as eating and drinking can
not be economised out of eight, in
such case they unavoidably run be
hind. Where the customer! are
known and the distress Is recognlxcd
as genuine, no doubt a good deal of
leniency is shown for which the gro
cer gets little credit wtb th.e world,
bqt these cases, In toe aggregate, oc
casion only a small part of the mer
chant s anxieties, since no man makes
a general practice of supplying goals
to people who have no present or
prospective means of support.
A very large proportion of the un
satisfactory class of customers are
people who lvie bett;r, dress bWr
and in all respects pass caste lives
than many of their creditors do
themselvee They go on the prln
ciple that the world oves theui a
living, giving a liberal interpretation
to the term. They have probably an
Income that should allow of their act
ing justly by all, but to do so is not
their principle. They indulge them
selves with all that they can obtain
on credit or for the money they hap
pen to have at the moment. They
must keep op aa appearance,
live in a good neighborhood, dress
well, entertain their friends and like
wise enjoy themselves to what they
consider a reasonable extent, which
which .means an extent wholly be
yond that warranted by their income.
The result is, of course, that some
one must bear the brunt, and among
tradesmen the bearer is Invariably
the one who supplies the necessaries
of living. The spare cash, except
upon compulsion, never goes to set
tle a just claim while there are spring
bonnets and new dresses to be bought,
or the carpet in So ami So'e store
would be each a splendid addition to
the parlor. The tame principle.
works in all matters, and if, once in
awhile, the grocer should take bis
wife to the theatre he is as likely not
to recognize' among 'the occupants of
the tront sefcts some of his debtors
Who probacy bave been in the same
places again and again while he has

- These wei the'customers that try
men's soul. Mrs. A. ' may come and
say that the last tea she was served
with .was not : fit to drink; MrV. ; B.
may complain that her twenty-five
cents' worth of eggs were half rotten;
'another may talk of our charges and
hint significantly at the new store
just opened further down the street;
people may be uncivil, "exacting, su
percilious, inquisitoral, mean,7 pro
vided they pay on the spot or at the
time appointed, but the "call again"'
customer not merely tiios the tem-1
per, but ia sapping the foundation of
the business,
Of course where the system of giv
ing credit is found necessary the re
gular presentation of accounts and
payment of the same is equally need
ful. Past due accounts, without ex
ceptional reason given and satisfac
tory arrangement made, should
mean refusals of further supply of
goods. The merchant who allows the
accumulation of arrears has mainly
himself to thank for the result. In
many places associations have been
formed of local traders for the pur
pose of placing on list the names of
persons unworthy of credit, and like
wise of collecting their accounts, end
many of these organizations are re
ported to have been successful,, the
failure of some having been due to
the importation of objects foreign to
the original purpose and calculated
to give rise to dissension. It is clear
ly possible for traders in different
branches, in mutual defenoe, to re
gister the names of customers of bad
reputation, aud for each to be thus
guided in future transactions. It is
possible likewise for the individual
merchant, without such society, in
his relations with his customers by
making ir wise rule and firmly ad
hering to it, to avoid giving unprin
cipled customers the opportunity of
getting heavily on his bouks. With
the active competition of the present
day, it may go against the grain to
refuse trade; but trade of the charac
ter referred to, unless put upon a cash
basis, is attended .with losses that
swallow up its own and a good deal
of other profit ? . -
