do a credit business, for the following reasons: , -
The additional cost of bookkeeping. |
The loss in bad and slow accounts and express collections
The interest on the account for the time it is uncollected

Now, because of the fact that most all Drug Store merchandise is
made up of Nationally Advertised Products which are sold at fixed pri

THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
| PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The Sunday School is taking more
than the usual amount of interest in
its study of missions in China. Last
Sunday a unique method of asking
for subscriptions was resorted to.
“Shares of Stock,” each share being
$5.00, were taken by classes and in
dividuals. $llO.OO was the total sub
'scription. Each share means more
‘than that amount of money, for an
intelligent interest has been created
that will grow with the years.
. —————————
The Executive Board of the Wo
man’s Missionary Society met on last
Monday afternoon in the church par

over the top by fory dollars. The
President urges every woman in the
church to take up the work of the
soeiety and especially to attend the
Inspirational meeting, which takes
place on the fourth Monday of each
