CASH VS. ANY TIME. 



1 am a large buyer from a cut flower 

 commission house, and pay cash for my 

 goods. I understand there are a num- 

 ber dealing with the same firm who pay 

 their accounts to suit their convenience, 

 thus getting an advantage over me. This 

 seems to me to be an injustice to the 

 cash purchaser, and is no incentive for 

 him to pay promptly, as there is no dis- 

 count for his money. The up-to-date 

 business man takes the advantage of dis- 

 counts and runs his affairs as near the 

 cash basis as possible. Wholesale con- 

 cerns in other lines with few exceptions 

 are offering inducements to pay cash. 

 Why not the wholesale commission flower 

 houses? I would be pleased to hear 

 through your paper the conditions that 

 exist in the larger wholesale districts in 

 reference to the above subject. 



Subscriber. 



Enquiries to which, as in this case, no 

 name is signed are not as a rule entitled 

 to notice, but it seems timely to remark 

 that Subscriber probably has not given 

 his wholesaler a basis for granting him 

 credit, in consequence of which he is re- 

 quired to pay cash, or else Subscriber is 

 overlooking very obvious benefits which 

 he is receiving or might secure, by pay- 

 ing cash when he is entitled to have 

 credit. There is no line of business in 

 which the cash customer does not have 

 the advantage of the one who is slow 

 pay. But it must be borne in mind that 

 the man whose purchases aire charged 

 but who pays promptly when the ac- 

 count is presented is the same as a cash 

 customer. In fact, he is regarded as 

 the best possible kind of customer; his 

 business is on a sound basis and very 

 likely to grow. 



The cash customer is almost always 

 able to buy cheaper than the one who 

 is slow pay. It is a common occurrence 

 for the slow man to find wholesale cut 

 flower prices unexpectedly stiff day after 

 day; gradually it dawns upon him that 

 it is the wholesaler's gentle way of say- 

 ing that the account is as large as 

 seems desirable. But he cannot go else- 

 where; to transfer his patronage, or a 

 large part of it, would be to tell the 

 whole story to any wide-awake whole- 

 saler. You may well believe that a man 

 who pays at any time that he pleases, 

 rather than when the bills are due, pays 

 the wholesaler more than interest on the 

 money. 



The cash buyer is not tied down. He 

 need not continue to patronize a house 

 where he feels that his business and his 

 business-like methods, are not appre- 

 ciated. He can and doubtless does buy 

 where he can get for the least money 

 the stock best suited to his needs. He 

 should be satisfied with that; he is 

 wasting his time worrying over the "ad- 

 vantages" of the man who is slow pay; 

 he has no advantages.
