MERCANTILE CREDITS AND COLLECTIONS BY CHARLES A. MEYER New York THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1919 All rights reserved HARVARD COLLEGE OCT 51920 Homer fund COPYRIGHT, 1919 BY THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Set up and electrotyped. Published July, 1919 PREFACE In this volume the author has attempted to discuss one branch of the various classes of credit, that is, mercantile credit, and the methods to be pursued in making mercantile collections, and has taken a view of the collection feature of mercantile credits from a practical standpoint, based on experience, and without strict regard to the theoretical application or analysis of all phases of credit. There are two general classes of credit-public credit and private credit-but political economists usually divide credit into five classes: mercantile, personal, banking, public and investment credit. This volume makes reference to mercantile credit only, no attempt being made to discuss the other branches of credit classes. The suggestions offered are based upon practical experience, and the book is intended for credit men and for those interested in the subject of mercantile credit generally from a practical business standpoint.
