National Pay Up Week
To Be Inaugurated
Feb. II to rs. 1916

Credit is one Of the greatest assets of
our present day system of business. but
like many another good thing, it is
sometimes abused and overdone; and
because SO many people are careless
about paying their accounts. there are
millions upon millions of dollars in
outstanding accounts in this country
today that could be paid without In
conveniencing the debtor, and If all
these millions of dollars were put into
circulation during one week. there
would be the greatest week of pros
perity ever known in this country.
While credit is a great thing. 1t at
the same time becomes tax when
abused. The man who does not pay
his debts pays a penalty or tax every
time he buys dollars worth of mer-
chandise; but not only must he pay
this tax. but the man who pays his
debts is compelled to bear his share
of this unjust taxa tax collected in
increased price by the failure of the
debtor to pay his bills.
It Is often said that the customers
of the retail merchants who pay cash
pay more for their merchandise than
