His Snap
' Yes" remarked the country meroh
ant to a newspaper reporter “I cer-
tainly have a snap The wholesale
houses send me duns everv month and
draw on me at sight but if 1 send a
bill to a farmer he oomes In swearing
mad and quits trading at my store
While I am hard np for ready money
many of those who owe me are send-
ing cash in advance to mail order
houses If I contribute money to any
cause people say I am bidding for
trade If I don’t they say I am a hog
Every day I am expected to dig up for
everything that oomes along from a
raffle ticket to a church fund by peo-
ple who say I ought to do this because
they do part of their trading here but
my friend Montgomery Ward neither
buys raffle tickets nor helps the church
fund and yet gets the cash in advance
business and if I were to circulate a
subscription paper among the e'ly
wholesale houses where we trade I
would get the horse laugh proper If
I sell A pair of pants 1 must treat the
family to oigars and candy If I buy
a load of potatoes I must do the same
Customers who are able to pay hang
onto their money while I pay ten per
cent at the bank to get ready cash I
I have a big business during hard times
and poor crops from people who are
willing to trade with me providing I
can duplicate catalogue house prices
and wait until after harvest for my
money My scales weigh too heavy
when I sell sugar and too light when I
buy butter I am a thief a liar and a
gratter If I smile I am a softsoapy
hypocrite if I don't I am a grump
Yes this is certainly a snap'’ and then
be looked over $10000 worth of book
accounts all good and wondered how
he could raise $350 to pay a sight draft
