It may be a bound book, a card ledger, a loose-leaf ledger or a credit register--but whatever , its form, this record of goods sold on credit is bouitdto be one of Hie most valuable possessions of any business man. ' '> • Some retailors seem to regard cash on hand as more important than Customers' accounts, This is a serious mistake, for soiling goods on time la practically equivalent to lending the customer money. Customers' ac counts, therefore, demand constant and careful attention. In spite of this ffcet, however, commercial records show that failure to charge goods sold on credit ia the cause of an appalling loss to American business. ^ Mistakes in entering charge accounts also are the cause of endless disputes which use up time and money, and result in a loss o^ prestige to the merchant. A regular customer is worth from $10 to $50 net per year to the average retail store. Some customers are worth a great deal more. And it is very easy to drive a customer away by poor accounting methods. ^ An overcharge on a customer's account probably will do more than any other thing to destroy his confidence in the store--*nd destroyed confidence is followed by loss of business. 1 ? Saving( profits is just as important as making profits.
