Question :
To the Public at Large
With business methods changing and
very little attention paid to keeping
credits in good standing, there is only
one thing that can happen to all of us,
and that is Credit will be Cut Out
Completely.” |
The merchant in days gone by got from 30 to
120 days credit--
Now he gets from ‘*Cash on Delivery” to 30 days,
the longest, or an average of 15 days credit.
So, it boils down to this: Anyone slack with his obliga
tion will find hard sailing in the future.
So if any good mathematician can figure out How a
merchant can carry accounts from year to year and not
one willing to pay even the interest for the accommo
dation 7 ?

In Behalf ot Senator
Harris
I am an ex service man from Alba
ny, and have known Senator Harris
tor many years. He has helped me
and many another poor chap formerly
in the service to dodge the proverbial
red tape when we needed action, Ac
tions speak louder than words, and
the exservice man knows.
The people of Georgia had faith in
Senator Harris when they reelected
him to the Senate. Read his early
career in politics, it is clean, and we
know the principles he has always
stood for. Surely at a time like this
we must all reunite and send him
back to the Senate for his fourth
term.
Senator Harris has always stood
for a white primary. We all stand
for white supremacy, in the South, at
least, the Democratic party lis built
up on those principles. Ben Davis
did not iast long when he tried to
roast the “lily whites’’ of Georgia.
Senator Harris stands for improve
ment of labor conditions in Georgia
and for relief of the unemployment
situation, better wages, ete. These
principles are worth a lot in anvy
man’s career and are food for thought
tor the voter.
