A Prominent Merchant Asked a
Pertinent Question!
: • . “ ■ . " *
The president of a department store asked: “Do you spend Before You Earn?” This
after all, is the keynote of credit—keeping monthly expenditures within the limit of
incomes.
•"... • •: -V'. ; f
Anticipate your needs by sensible purchases, but don't over-buy. Look ahead. Cal-
culate your income. Plan ways and means to meet your obligations when they come
due.

A BILL PAID IS THE BEST PROSPERITY INSURANCE
Stephenville Retail Merchants Association
MORAL RISK. BASIS FOR
RETAIL CREDIT BY RETAIL
MERCHANTS* ASSOCIATION
Credit la not always granted on
the financial ability of a person to
pay, on the contrary, in the retail
line, it is usually granted on the
good paying record established by
the party requiring credit. It is
not so much looked upon as a finan-
cial obligation than as a moral ob-
ligation, therefore the expressions
of financial risk and moral risk. It
is the moral risk that counts.
Credit in the retail line is a con-
venience aqd is extended by the
merchant for the convenience and
benefit of the customer, however,
credit many times may become a
necessity for the customer. It may
be said that the credit is always
granted for the benefit of the credit
seeker, whether by the banker to
the merchant or by the merchant
to ttie customer. It is un obliga-
tion that is binding morally as well
as legally, morally binding particu-
larly in the case of a customer se-
curing credit on an open account, in
which case his paying record is
very often the only basis on which
credit is extended, therefore, ,it is
absolutely necessary for us to live
up to our credit obligations and to
carefully guard our good credit
reputation. It is this good paying
reputation that makes us a good
moral eredit risk and entitles us to
credit accommodations.
Retail credit is largely extended
upon the reputation of one’s credit
record as a prompt pay, being
prompt is really the first consider-
ation. The credit grantor in the
retail line usually does not care
how much a person is worth finan-
cially, what he wants to know is
his paying record, how prompt he
or she pay their accounts and that
is the basis upon which a retail
merchant extends credit. So cur
past reputation as to how prompt
or how slow we pay our bills is
what counts. Credit is granted as
a convenience to the public, it is
for the benefit of the buyer, it may,
however,' become a serious neces-
sity at times, therefore, we must
protect our good credit reputation,
always remembering that it is the
good paying record which we have
established, that enables us to con-
tinue securing further" credits.
Accounts that run past due are
unprofitable and often .merchants
lose .money...on them. Although
they are finally paid in full, such
accounts are regarded as undesir-
able. It is our paying record that
counts. If we neglect prompt pay-
ment of our accounts and as con-
sequence further refused,
we can only blame ^HJKves. We
make our own credit record and
this record not only affects our
eredit transactions with merchants
and banks, but reflects upon our
standing in the community.
