How Manufacturers and Jobbers Collect Accounts "Wht.polir;y do you follqvy in collecting accounts?" is only one of the 6 bis. questions we recently asked the country's foremost merchants, to secure -a consensus of opinion as to the safe conduct of business in these un certain times. The answers to all 6 questions have been condensed in a book which we will gladly send, without cost, to any manufacturer, jobber or banker in 'the U. S. Copies positively will not be sent to anybody not falling in one of these 3 classes. The bad debt loss is a stupendous tax upon the business interests of this country. In a single generation, be tween 1890 and 1919, nearly 400,000 merchants in the United States failed, owing about $5,4.40,000,000. Ways to lessen this dreadful, and in great ipart avoid able drain are clearly pointed out in this report. Thyik of what it means to you to get the detailed opin ions of over 200 firrns in every line, on the foremost business problems of the day. The benefit of such counsel may mean thousands of dollars to you! The report is yours for the asking. Write, phone or send a messenger for your copy today.
