GROCER WIPES $10,000
ACCOUNTS OFF BOOKS
----------
Shelbyville, Ind., Jan. 16
Declaring that many of his debtors were the customers who made his
business a prosperous one in other days, a Shelbyville grocer today
erased from his books accounts aggregation $10,000 with the announcement
that "no one owes me a cent." "They gave me a start in the world," said
Chris Duffy in announcing his action. "They helped me when I needed
help; they put me on my feet. It would be a poor kind of gratitude now
for me to let them down, wouldn't it? I'm going to help them have a chance to
start all over again. The largest of the accounts cancelled by the
neighborhood business man totaled more than $500.
