LOCAL MERCHANT CANNOT
PROSPER ON UNPAID BILLS
Much Abuse Of the Charge Account
Due to Observation-Disclosures
Ambitious Storskeeper.

Some people become careless about
paying the bills Of the local storekeep-
or. 1t is not that they are dishonest:
they are simply careless. "Oh. I've
been dealing with that man for years
now. and he won't mind waiting
awhile they will say as the first bill
Is poked away and forgotten until an
other reminds them of the unsettled
obligation.
A local storekeeper cannot go on
doing business at the same old stand
and render satisfaction and the best
possible equivalent for the money with
out his customers cooperation. a cog
will slip here and a cog will slip there
in any business when this sort of thing
continues indefinitely and the home
merchant realizes ii has become a
practice.
On the other hand. a prompt response
to the merchants first bill will be re-
warded. Ii will place a we'll stocked
store at your disposal and a list OF
prices that does not have to be fixed
with an eve to the debtors list.
While IL is commendable to pay
your BRIDESMAIDS bills promptly. ii Is
better still never to open a charge ac-
count. Pay for each article when you
buy ii and join the ranks of the local
mercha nt's best friends. better friends
ever than those who pay once a week
or once a month.
AS a matter Of fact. this charge ac-
count idea is nothing less than a per-
sonal favor which a storekeeper IS not
obliged to grant. 1t is a favor that Is
not granted by the mail order concerns.
But when a storekeeper permits a Gus
toner to go on his books the least that
customer can do is to settle his account
without delay. How this prompt re-
turn courtesy will rebound to the Gus
toner's advantage has already been
pointed out.
