OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS Your own welfare is always the thing that deserves your most carefull consideration. Upon you men and women, as heads of your families, lies the responsibility of conducting your business in such a manner that will give to those dependent upon you the greatest possible amount of comfort. In making the change in our business methods which we are now announcing to you, we have had this thought clearly before ua. In any business there are three important and essential factors--the producer, the seller and the consumer. The most important factor in any business is the consumer--the raw who uses the goods. He therefore deserves our most careful attention. A merchant's interests are very closely associated with his customer's interests and of the general interest of the community in which he lives and earns his bread and butter. It will also be readily seen that a merchant can prosper only in proportion to the good service that he renders. After a very careful consideration of the subject and a thorough investigation of the many communities where it has been tried, together with an observation of conditions extending over many years on the part of some of us, and a discussion lasting through several months we have reached the conclusion that: THE KSABONS ARE VERY PLAIN 1..Credit has ruined piatiy more peo- : pltithttnlt has helped. You can. no doubt, see this result right In your own nclghlmrhood. Men have established a reputation for being Rood pay, have been able to buy goods on credit at any store and. as a result, have overreached themselves. This result varies In degree. Some have had to sell calves and pigs and colts J>efore they were ready for the market, thereby taking a loss by not being able to cash in on the valuable growth whlcjti these animals would have made. Even the good wives are affected by this. 2. It is then very plain that a Casta System will benefit the entire community by putting It. upon a more conservative and a much safer basis. If every family pays as It goes there will always be money in the "family exchequer" to meet the emergencies, which continually arise In our lives. Last season furnishes an excellent ey«' ample of this. Many of our good farmers were compelled, on account, of dry weather and short, crops, to sacrifice valuable stock and stint themselvea' in order to obtain feed for their stock and the things absolutely necessary for their families and also to pay ths store bill. How much better It would have been If every man instead of bills which must be paid had had in reserve a fund to have met. such an emergency. A cash system also eliminates the idea of competition in spending money. Would it not be far better if each of us. Instead of trying to see bow much better we can look than our neighbors or how much bigger show we can make than "so and so." would face about and see how much better we can conduct our business and do our work. 3. A cash system then will vlve every man an honest chance. It will compel .•very man to stand four square to the world exactly as he Is and give him a feeling of confidence which only the '•asli man can have. There Is absolutely no question about his being able to liecome more prosperous and carry « bigger bank account under such a system. He will know every night exact* Iy what he is worth and like the "village blacksmith" year school 4*y . fame "Look the whole world in the face, fqr he owes no man anything." It will entirely eliminate from the minds of us all the thought that "pay does not come until tomorrow and tomorrow Is a long way off." We had thought of discussing the question with you from the merchant point of view as well as irom the customers but after a thorough discussion among ourselves we have been unable to discover a single Inst ance wherethe merchants interest is different from that of the customer. We are all llv- Ing together to the same community. We all help support our Churches, our Schools and our Oood Roads. What benefits one, must in some degree, at least, benefit us all. It Is good for us all that we all prosper. While many people have the idea that every merchant has a fat bank account the reverse is Jcttf. Under the old credit Kysteip rtie many unnecessary burdens we have been forced to carry have prevented us from making the reasonable living profits to which we are Justly entitled. By changing this system itoany Important improveaieats can be made. 1. It will save the mertftkiit a large part of his expense In doing business. There will no longer be any forgotten Vbarges to account for when we come ^to the end of the year and figure up our loss and gain. There can hardly be an error In a cash transaction. We will no longer have to go over a long .list of accounts aqid wonder if this man or that man is STILL OOOD. It will eliminate loss of'goods wrongly chained and accounts dented. 8. It will enable the merchant to be a better buyer. Ca?h on delivery always talks louder In the markets of the world than sixty days time with a requestlon for an extension when the limit Is reached. It Is a well known, fact that, almost, all wholesale bouses have several prices but the cash man gets the best one. There Is nothing that makes such a tempting noise as g(<od old Uncle :Sam's currency, the supreme standard by which the raises of all the world are now gauged. Cash Business is Better for the General Good of the Community than Credit Business We are sure that our stand is just and right. We appeal to you as entelligent ambitous business men and women to take the sane and honest view of the question and give it your most careful consideration. Then join with us as we have always united with you in a spirit of earnest co-operation and let us all pull together to develop? the "PAY AS YOU GO" system and make McHenry and community the most prosperous community in all this prosperous state. Our children will then develops into better men and women, our homes will be brighter; our land will be worth more, a GREAT SPIRIT OF CONTENTMENT WILL PREVAIL AND WE WILL ALL BE MORE HAPPY. JOHN J.
