THE custom of allowing rebates on purchases by way of discount began with the introduction into common use of the present coin of the realm as a. medium of exchange. It is an allowance by a. vendor to a purchaser, given for various reasons, the popular ono being for the encouragement of cash payment being made according to ruling trade terms. The net result aimed at is to give the^cash buyer an advantage. It is important that this conclusion should be carefully noted. A trading concern giving credit seeks to .induce the customer to pay cash by offering him discounts. "it follows that he has added the cost of giving credit to the price of his wares in addition to the amount otherwise fairly chargeable. Such a trader, as a matter of fact, calculates his selling price on c percentage which will allow of these rebates, or discounts, be they in cash or kind. The manner adopted varies according to the discretion of individual firms. The result is the same—so much put on to take off again. But when a trader sells for cash only the position is quite different. He is not troubled about the discount item, and doesn't tcck it on . when, pricing. He naturally works , on a lower perceutago over all hi* wares year in year out. Thus it is safe to conclude that a no discount house is cheaper. Messrs. H. D. Bonnctt, Ltd., the Pure Food Specialists, of Lamb-ton-quay and Willis-street, give no discount, because they don't provide for it.
