ship OF the Spirit IF Jefferson. we send out
: accounts TO large number of our Patrons
This is not done a mere matter OF form,
bur because we need money, and those who
owe us should pay. We know times are hard.
= bus however hard they may be. we have still
the same expenses to meet. The fact that
our accounts are generally small does not
d. lesson the obligation in single case, but
rather increases it, from the natural tendency
of mankin to neglect small matters. We
Cd are not unreasonable, but we must have means
to conduct our business. We, therefore,
. hope our friends will heed this appeal. and
give US q generous response. IF you cannot
pay all you owe u, don't let that prevent you
from paying part, and to that extent lights
epng the burdens of our financial department.
