How a Town Paid
Its Bills
A New Jersey dealer in coal and lumber recently startled his village
and country neighbors and customers by bold use of printer's ink. In the
local weekly, on the first page, in large type, he made known the amount of
indebtedness which the firm was carrying in an effort to meet the trading
demands of customers and at the same time not ruffle their feelings or chal
lenge their ethics of trade. Accompanying the quite explicit statistics of debt
was a statement intimating that the dealer thought he was not getting quite
the "square deal" from people who were presuming on his leniency and who
were assuming that he had unlimited credit and social good will.
As soon as the issue of honor and
fair play became a community one,
the bills began to be paid. When A
realized that B and C and D, and in
deed M, not to mention T, had all
agreed with him in presuming that X,
the dealer, could and would "carry
the account a while longer without in
convenience," why A saw what he, in
combination with others, had really
been doing.
If he did not pay immediately he at
least named a time when he would
pay. He admlted his carelessness and
thoughtlessness and his Indifference
to the rights of the middleman. He
conceded the power of the press to
do what dunning letters had not done.
In short, he learned a lesson, as did
his neighbors. And so, while the $07,
653 debt account diminished, the com
munitygood will account grew.
Town life was toned up hy clean-
cut handling of one phase of trade
ethics. It became an Issue of when
as well as how debts should be in
curred and paid.
As to which set of residents in this
Xew Jersey town was more Interest
ed In the incident, those who owed
for their coal and lumber or those
who did not, we will not speculate,
lacking knowledge. But this can be
said without much likelihood of con
tradiction, that the group that habitual
ly pays its bills promptly was not
sorry to have the issue arise In just the
form It has come up. The honest,
thrifty, considerate, cash paying, debt
disliking consumer too often pays his
own bills and, indirectly, those of his
negligent neighbor as well. He pays
for what he gets and also for what
the man gets whose accounts finally
have to he ."charged out."
The extent to which this unfair condition of affairs exists in rural and
suburban communities of the country is not always realized by the urban
dweller and merchant. The city man does more merchandizing- on a cash basis
The city merchant can be more independent and rigorous in collections because
not so restricted in range of prospective customers as the village and towni
merchant. It is for the smaller communities, then, that this Metuchen N J
experiment will prove most instructive.. It shows that the suasion of candor'
journalistically mediated, is a first rate debt collecting method. '
