Big Corporations Now Realize What
They Owe to the Consuming Pub
llc-Case in Point That VIII
Throw Light on Modern
Methods.

In these times OF trust" denuncia-
tion the average man Is overlooking
the fact that some Of the biggest mo-
nopolies OF the country have been
brought to realization OF Just what
they owe to the consuming public.
They have been operating costly bu-
reaus OF correspondence for the sole
purpose of explanation to kicking
customers. AS an example, here is a
bona fide letter sent to an individual
small customer OF one OF the biggest
mCnopolies. The circumstance was
this, In the beginning:
The small customer overlooked q
monthly bill some time ago and failed
to get the discount He decided to
wait and pay the bill with the bill for
the succeeding month A collector
came and left a peremptory written
notice, asking that the bill be settled
In two days from date The customer
of eighteen years standing wrote a
kick" note to the management. He
received most courteous reply, as
suring him that his credit was un-
questioned and that thereafter-pay
when he would--he would not be
called upon by collector. The other
day the custober overlooked the bill
until after the discount period had
elapsed, and putting 1t aside as he
had done before a collector called
upon him with the same sharply
printed notice. The next morning by
first mail he received the following
note.
Dear Sir: Through an inadver.
tenee your account was allowed to ap-
pear on our collection book, a mis-
take which We regret exceedingly.
We have recently made a trans
fer of all our accounts from one set OF
books to another, and In doing so the
bookkeeper handling this particular
account failed to carry forward a
memorandum to the effect that the
account should not appear on the col
lection book
We have now made the necessary
arrangements. and regretting the at
tendant annoyance which our collec-
tors call may have occasioned you,
We remain. yours very truly,

Only a few weeks ago a friend told
how sore he was at neighboring
grocery store which had failed to send
among other things package for
which he had paid 80 cents. He had
kicked, but the grocer had stuck it
out that he knew the package had
been delivered. The customers en-
phatic utterance was that he never
would buy another dollars worth OF
goods from that grocer.

any printed record that he ever mar

was fool to waste his time in a pro.

his work worth paying for; and 1t is a
serious question whether work that
nobody wants to pay for Is really
