A Credit Business Means Bad Debts Read: Ono thing which tends to keep up the cost of living," said Mr K. S. Williams in the House of Bcpresentatives, " is the pernicious system of credit dealing which prevails all over NewZealand. As a people we paid cash for our amusements and pleasures, but for necessary articles like food and clothing we got them charged up if possible, and quite naturally the tradesman had to add more profit because he did not know when ho would be paid, if ever. If there could bo a universal cash system the cost of living would go down substantially." An Extract from the House of Rep resentatives We Sell for Cash At prices impossible to the credit-giving business YOU, personally, may always pay Cash, but if the Store at which you deal gives credit to others, the Storekeeper has got to charge YOU his Cash-paying Customei —an extra profit to make good his bad debts. Are YOU content to pay this extra charge ? Compare the prices in this list with those YOUR Grocer is charging you, and if his prices are higher, jemember, you are paying more than you need, in order that other people may have their goods free.
