This thing of keeping open accounts and having them drag along In an un certain manner Is like "hobbling a horse and trying to make Mm do steady duty. Or, rather, It Is like hob bling a whole herd of horses, for each man failing to receive for his accounts promptly is unable to meet his own obligations, and thus the hobble be comes a sort of continuous chain that hampers the progress of every busi ness man. The time has come to look this matter straight in the face and to adjust it in a business-like way, and the sooner we get at this In the new year the better. Open accounts should be limited. That is, there Bhould be a specific understanding as to the limit of time for payment. It should be within thirty days of the end of the month that purchases are made, other wise it should not be considered an open account. When accounts are fmade for a greater length of time than this they should be made by specific contract and covered with notes or some legal form that will give some positive business value to them. There is no question but that eventually In extendingNur commerce It will be necessary in many lines to extend long credits. This Is generally the case as a country grows older. However, the extending of long credits does not mean the keeping of open and unce? tain accounts that drag indefinitely. Where long credits are extended they ATA A. ITIAttAr rtt nntAa A, ntrafta that become banking assets and have a definite time of termination. No matter whether their time is three months, six months or a year. Then they have not only specific value, but specific times of falling due and usu ally carry with them interest or a price Increase that provides lor the interest. That puts it on a proper business basis and takes the heavy burden out of it Let us see if we can't get down to some basi3 of this kind early in the present year and get rid 'of the burdensome part of this open account business.
