"Pay As You Co."

Benjamin Franklin of Philadelphia, printer and
statesman gave much good advice any one man in
America
By following his advice thousands of families that
had known comfort quite paid their debts be-
came thrifty and prosperous.
And one OF his best chunks of advice this-"Pay
you 60" If you pay for thing when you get it you
know just how much it costs, and you know just how
much is left in your pocket If you run in debt you
bothered with the accounts and you know just
where you stand safe and profitable rule, especially
for people who not rch is spend their money
until they get it.
1t is great deal more fun to money for pur-
chase going to make by and by than to be paying
out money for something we bought good while ago
The largest business in Madison County was built up
by man who started to sell for cash when all other
dealers around him running the credit system.
They all said it impossible, but this did it, and
hundreds OF families better of because of his resolue
principle.
We notice that Hayes & Colt, prominent merchants
in Berea, just adopting this cash principle. We
commend their stand and hope their example will be
followed by Others The cash basis is best for the mer-
chant and best for the customer
