CASH ON THE NAIL
TAILOjRS ; WANT THEIR MONEY LONDON FIRMS’ LEAD LONDON, Oct. aO. ' The man who snaps his fingers at his 'tailpr’s bill, will soon be a. man of the past. That is, if the present credit plans of the’clothing trade are earned out. It is going to bo “cash On the nail” now. “Tailors' have been the victims of the credit bogey long enough,” an authority said to a press representative. “A high-class tailor used to blush at the mere mention of an account, and well-to-do customers seemed to think it an impertinence if ho tendered his bill in anything under two years after the order had been carried out.” ' Inquiries in the London tailoring trade showed that the credit period has now h.eqn whittled down to nine months or a. year, while three of the most famous liigh-class firms have abolished the credit systern entirely and insist on payment within a month of delivery. These three firms are flourishing. The result is that other establishments are beginning to follow suit.
