The following appeared in the North-China Day News-At the annual meeting of Messrs. Valke & Schrader, L., the chairman of the Company stated that the greatest difully they had in conexion with their business was collecting their aerate. Three other retail firmos held their annual meetings during the past month, and between them they showed that they had outstanding ame T 130,000. In spite of this, two of the firme in question managed to pay substantial dividends. This latter fact proves that persona whe paid cash for their purchases must have been charged exorbitant prices to make up for the lusses on those who don't pay. Is such a site of afsira creditsbla to this commanity? A shares Shanghai Horee Bazaar moeting stated that persons ordered carriages aad horses who never intended to pay for them, and it seems to me that a good many persons who deal with the local retail stores act on the same prisciple. The consequence is that persous who are accustomed to paying cash are penalized.
