ANTIQUATED CREDIT TERMS
The Wholesale Produce Exchange has made a careful study of the credit condition in
Birmingham and find that radical changes should be made in the interest of the retailor and
wholesalers handling produce.
We find that the wholesale produce dealer pays cash for produce.
We find that retailers, in many instances, do not pay for produce purchased by them in
thirty days, wheras, all the industrial corporations of the district have bi-monthly or weekly
pay days, this should enable the retailer to make his collections accordingly.
We recommend that the following terms be adopted in order to put the retail and whole
sale dealers in produce on the same basis, to-wit:
PAY YOUR BILLS WHEN THEY ARE DUE
^ '
That all weekly accounts become due and payable on Monday following the week of pur
chase and delinquent after Wednesday.
That all monthly accounts become due and payable on the first day of each month and de
linquent after the tenth.
Further, that retailers make no further sales to a customer who permits his account to be
come delinquent, and that the same be applied to the wholesale dealer.
