One Store Had To Be Closed In June of this year my partner, , died and almost at the same timeour building was sold over our heads andwe had to leave. I then moved all mystock up into the Pitt Street store andcarried on the business there myself. Atfirst I tried to carry the business on acash plan, but found that it meant a lossof a number of my customers, and I wasforced to do a credit business. However,I restricted my credit side as much aspossible, and still keep down the numberof accounts carried as much as is no doubt that at the presenttime a grocer must get the money forhis stock as soon as possible, both on ac-count of the continually changing prices,and on account of the conditions underwhich he is able to buy his supplies atthe present time.
