Abolish Dating Bills Says New England Shoe Body
A New England Shoe and Leather Association committee report from July 15 advocates ending the dating ahead system for bills after shipment. A large national survey shows overwhelming support to abolish or modify the practice. The plan favors bills dated at shipment with settlements by cash or notes within thirty days and non overlapping seasons. The report notes the shift to long open accounts and fiat-money style notes disrupted mercantile credit and notes issuance. Abolishing dating ahead is deemed best for trade welfare.
