Prompt Payment of Bills.

DO you pay your bills promptly
Have YOU ever thought What it may
mean to small storekeeper? Possibly
you are trading with a merchant who
is doing business in a small way Your
bill is small and you think little of it
it is only the big ones that bother you
enough to command attention. But
that bill may look much larger to the
merchant and while it is only one of
two or three to you it may be one of
several hundred to him. Figure it up
and estimate how much those little
bills might amount to altogether; then
compare the estimate with the value of
the stock of the merchant and you can
get some idea of what little bills mean
to him.
Your grocery and meat bills, for in
stance may climb up rather slowly.
You go on ordering what you need (or
what you want, which is different
thing and the grocer supplies it. He
has to keep his stock up. He has to
replace the goods you take. And to a
certain extent, the amount of capital
required to run his business depends
upon the readiness with which his Gus
toners paw up. He can do the same
business with less capital if his custom
ers pay promptly.
You owe little consideration to the
man who is extending you credit. Pay
up as promptly as you reasonably can
and you will find that the merchant
appreciates it and it is to your advan-
taVe.
