ES. MAKING A NEWSPAPER
a - Getting ‘ott ‘a good. newspaper is a fascinating task, but it
“ ds-also a difficult one. No other job that comes to mind is quite
so. taxing, so hurr ied or demands greater pains. ° From the
“moment a newspaper is started, be-it either daily or weekly,
_ the work is carried.on under pressure, a race against time. Put
yourself i in: an editor’ $ position — could you do it?

Couid - “SOU, Tor example, spell correctly, offhand, the
“names of a Jarge percentage of the residents of. the town? If
you could: do that could ‘you write their initials correctly. with-
out: resorting . to. the. ‘telephone | ‘directory -or other authority?
‘Could you, write. ‘down, ‘offhand, the names of your town or
city. officials, your school board, your rural municipal officials,
‘getting: all the names, initials, and offices correct? Yould. you
gathe the threads of a‘story from.a dozen persons and. weave
nto an. intelligent, readable account’ the first: writing?

| “HOW I WISH FOLKS WOUL D PAY: EVERY 30 DAYS!”’-

Credit problems increase rather than: ‘decrease ‘with’ the}

| growing demand of the neighbor that” you keep up’ with ees in
his pace: or. mode of. living: a

‘Not. that the neighbor j is at. fault, he isn’t. It. seems a-craze
of a large number now-a- -days to keep pace. cand just a little.

| distance ‘in front. if ‘there is the. barest possibility. -There’s
someone to suffer for such a pace and the average Canadian

isn’t looking for the opportunity to accept the role of sufferer.

The theme is reminded through a brief statement made to
us several days ago by a merchant who has been established
here for several years. His statement was in this vein: “How I
wish the folks would pay their bills every 80 days. It’s such a
continuous source of distasteful business to have to be writing

them, sending collectors after them, having them called upon
ithree times within the period of 60 days. They don’t like it,

but what am I'to-do about it? . ;
“IT must collect if I stay in business and the public doesn’t
realize how important is the prompt payment of bills, for the} ~

‘| gencral public isn’t in business with heavy investments in mer-

chandise to. be paid for, continuous overhead for labor, lights,
rent, decorations, advertising. Tf the public did realize such a

‘condition, frankly, I believe’ that obligations would be- met

promptly.’
This merchant is “studying a problem that i is yapparent- to a

great many merchants. and to a great number. of businesses,

how to combat the evil of waiting 90'days to pay a statement
that is due in 30 days. Margins of profit are slashed’ for the
merchant, he isn’t able to -meet his obligations at the proper
time, he must curtail some of his service to the public if there
isn’t prompt payment of accounts.

There is no merchant who relishes the stern measures
sometimes necessary to collect an account. Certainly there is

no buyer who enjoys. receiving from one ‘to half.a dozen: state- |...
ments of “Account Overdue’ within a period ranging from: 30,

60 to 90 days.”

‘With the payment ; of accounts there is no doubt that ‘the

general volume of business wouid undergo a slight depression
within that: period. of- payment, however, the. revival- would be
far. more satisfactory, to the merchant and to. the purchaser as
well. : 4

hame -and your: ‘excellent standing in the: ‘community, but such

standing. does not. meet obligations. that the merchant faces at| al -
regular intervals in commercial] life. He. ‘would. much prefer
| that: accounts: ‘be paid on time and you in: turn’ no- ‘doubt would: ee
\ be much ‘happier’ from: having: adopted: ‘such | ae business- like
1 system of doing business i in your: individual: way. a
