FENCING IN IS MORE CREDIBLE
In the late 1800’s a rancher walked into the general store of a frontier town on the Great Plains and asked the owner for credit for supplies. “Doin’ any fencin’ this spring, Josh?” asked the storekeeper. “Sure am, Will,” said the rancher. “Fencin’ in, or fencin’ out?” “Fencin’ in. Taking in another 350 acres across the creek.” “Good to hear it Josh. You have the credit. Just tell Henry out back what you need.” A visitor, overhearing the conversation commented to the store owner that he certainly had an unusual credit system. “It works,” said the owner. “If a man’s fencing out, he’s running scared with what he’s got. If he’s fencin’ in, he’s got hope. I always give credit to a man who’s fencing in.”
