Credit or debt dispute with a department store case
A New York reader recounts a lengthy billing mix up with a department store over stockings. After multiple orders, misaddressed shipments, and credits, she ends up with a credit of 18.55 and refuses payment while threatening to spend 38.55, urging the store to straighten the accounts for stockholders. The piece also notes a rise in greeting card business and Irving Cohen’s Card firm.
