We believe the subject is one of general public interest, and we De lieve the customers of these merchants will appreciate the situation therein presented and thus help in the co-operative campaign which is planned to reduce the cost to the ultimate consumer. FOREWORD This Pamphlet is issued with a view of mak ing reference to a phase of business that in behalf of the final and complete victory in Eu rope it becomes most necessary for us to consid er, and consider seriously, and that is, in our belief, the importance of— TO F.X IST A BUSINESS MUST BE PROFITABLE That a Wholesale Grocer and a Retail Gro cer as distributors of iood products shall exist and exist profitably is, we conceive, of highest importance, both as a source of income tax to the Government, and the proper and most eco nomical feeding of this country. One of the greatest factors in bringing about these results i, FIRST, to stop THE ABUSE OF CREDIT. A failure on the part of the Wholesale and Retail Grocery Merchants of the country to cheek this evil means bankruptcy for many of both classes. The worst enemy the Retail Grocer has to-day Is that Wholesale Grocer who permits him to absolutely Ignore Credit Terms. Your own usefulness to the nation us a food distributor is impairod and weakened every time you permit a Retail Merchant 10 violate the terms of your invoice. Do not let any indi vidual Wholesale Grocer commit the folly of hampering the Food Administration Jin its won derful endeavors, to conserve and economically distribute the essential food products of this country, by encouraging that WASTE and PRODIGALITY which is invariably and natur ally the result of buying or selling that is en gaged in without regard to any definite time of settlement; in other words, LOOSE CREDIT; or, a better term still, ABUSED CREDIT. Judi cious credit is necessary to the operation of our various industries, and it is not intended that business be paralyzed by the withdrawal of credit. We do not complain of your use of credit, but we do complain of your ABUSE OF CREDIT. The object of this Pamphlet, there fore, is to advise those who have been doing this, that such ABUSE should stop for the per iod of the war, at least. ABUSED CREDIT IS THE KAISER'S BEST FRIEND. . <j We. therefore, ask every one of our custom ers to place their account with us on such basis as will strictly comply with the terms on which you buy our goods. The National Association of Credit Men recommends that your customers be required to pay cash for food stuffs. We do not presume to tell you how to operate your business, but we do suggest that you put your business on a CASH BASIS as far as possible You will be doing your customer a service, for the reason that with cash payments you will sell them goods cheaper; and then find you can easily discount your own bolls, and thus save at both ends. We cdll on you for your assistance in effecting this economy and feel sure that you wHI not be found wanting in this hour of nab icna) trial! TAKING THE CA H DISCOUNTS.

Yowro very sincerely, THE FLEMISTER GROCERY CO. Wonderful Power- Red Cross Symbol The Red Cross and the power of its symbol is described in a story written by Miss Mlrgaret Nutting of the pub licity department of the southern div ision of the Red Cross, as follows: Late one afternoon during the Red ; Cross drive of last spring, there came to the clergy house an aged woman who asked to see the priest. She was very poorly dressed and seemed to be in great pain. When questioned as to I her needs she answered: •‘I am not looking for anything for myself, father. I’m an old woman and don’t need much, but I heard you were collecting money for this Red Cross and I want to give my share.” She took from her purse two worn $1 bills and put them on the table. The priest noticed that except for the two bills her purse was empty, and con sidering her very evident need, pro tested that she was doing more than her share. The answer to this protest was sublime. “And suppose I am? There's a lot of people who ain’t giving what they should, and plenty who can t give any thing. If my $2 can help, why, here it is, and the blessing of God go with it.” .lust two days later this same priest was called to attend a sick woman “way out in the country,” as the mes senger put it. When the priest arrived he found a poor dwelling, and in a small room under the eaves he found the same aged woman who two days before had made her generous offering to the Red Cross. The room was devoid of every comfort and she was lying upon a mattress covered with a thin blanket. The glory of self sacrifice most assuredly illuminated this humble death chamber, and a few hours later, making her peace with God, this truly great and noble woman rendered her soul to Him. She died deprived of even the most essential comforts, and the last cent she possessed had been given to the work of the Red, Cross Of her it may *>e truly said: “Greater love than this hath no man.” Atlanta Constitution.

Every bottle the same, and good to the last drop. Coca Cola is the drink. It must be "the drink” or else “imitators” would not try so hard to produce something which they claim to be "just as good”. Coca Cola has had imitations: scores of imitations. The IMITATIONS come and the IMITATIONS go: but Coca Cola lives forever. Coca Cola is the best drink on earth and you know it. It’s the best seller on earth, and there is a reason for it. Coca Cola is simply delightful. Every bottle the same, and they do sell like hot cakes at a country fair.
