PAY YOUR SMALL BILLS.

The ready payment of little bills is a mat
ter Of considerable Importance, and did every
man who says, "charge this" or ''call again, ,
pay when these little bills are made or pre-.
scented, when perhaps he has the money in
his pocket, it would very materially improve
business and enable all to meet their obliea
tions more readily. We know some, who.
when business becomes little unsettled. do
all in their power to make it more SO by
holding on to cash In hand and telling all
collectors 20 wait, to call again with over
due bills, while al the same time, the prom pt
payment would be no Inconvenience to
them and would enable the creditor to meet
his obligations, and the return current would
so much the sooner begin to reach his own
say, collections are hard" bills against
prefectly good men, etc. Il is from this
practice of putting Off the payment of small
bills. There is as much money as ever, and
if all the small bills, for the payment of
which the debtors now have the cash in
hand, were paid at once, business would run
smoothly. there would be no com plants of
slow collections. good men can't pay, etc.
Let every man who reads these lines start
out and paw all his little bills aud insist on
others doing the same and we shall hear 10
more about close times, dull trade, slow
collections, etc. Let every man try it.
