Excerpt from The Retail Charge Account, Prepared Under the Direction of the Educational Committee of the Associated Retail Credit Men of New York City, Inc The problem of granting credit must be faced by every retailer, large or small, that is to say, by everyone who sells either merchandise or service directly to the consumer. It is a significant fact that while many small retailers regard credit sales with great disfavor and as something to be avoided so far as possible, nearly all whose operations are extensive find their charge trade a most valuable part of their business, even endeavoring where possible to convert their cash patrons into charge patrons. The exceptions to this rule among large stores are so rare as to create comment. If the large stores of the country not only do a charge business but encourage it, it seems fair to assume that the small dealer might very profitably investigate the credit policies and methods of the large concern with a view to applying them to his own business. Indeed, not only those who supply commodities but the professional and technical man as well would do well to become thoroughly acquainted with the theory and practice of retail credits and collections as developed in experienced credit departments. This book describes in detail the methods developed by the credit departments of a number of large city stores in handling the specific problems that come before them. It is based on the practical experience of the credit managers of New York's leading stores and consists of their contributions as delivered in lecture form before the Associated Retail Credit Men of New York City with a membership embracing over 600 leading retailers and bankers.
