CURTAIN.
ADVERTISING AS \ COLLECTING
AGENCY.
Waco. Tex. News.)

Waco, Tex, News
There is practically no limit TO the
held Of advertising and il is a dull
manager of a business who cannot
find some way in which TO employ
this very useful agency for increas-
ing his profits. But it remains 10
coal and lumber dealer Of a New
Jersey to employ the columns OF the
local press in making the people Of
the town who owed him 1000
come across with the cash"
This dealer, presumably well-to-
do. found that his accounts were
becoming so large that he was un-
able TO carry them further without
serious embarrassment. Accordingly,
he decided to take the people Of the
town into his confidence and let them
know just the situation they had
placed him in. Accordingly, he took
large space on the front page Of
the local paper and in large type
told the people the amount Of the
accounts he held against them, as
sured them he had let the accounts
run to that figure in the belief that
he was accommodating his patrons,
but that he was convinced that 50
many people were presuming upon
his leniency and unlimited credit
that he was not getting a square
deal"
With this resultant publicity put
ting the matter of honor in paying
ones debts squarely up to the com
munity. the issue became such a di-
rect one that people began paying
their bills The various delinquent
customers began to feel that they
were guilty of an offense and those
who did not pay up Immediately ar
ranged to do so in the near future.
The whole community learned a les
son. not only along the lines of the
responsibility for meeting debts, but
along the line of community good
will as expressed in an effort TO keep
the reputation Of the community for
fair dealing and uprightness beyond
dispute. And the stimulation in
ethics resulted in a lesson in thrift
because the people came to realize
that they were wronging themselves
and the people with whom they
traded in contracting for goods for
which they could not pay and that
il was wise TO give thought TO when
debts should be incurred as we'll as
how they should be contracted and
paid.
The incident appears to have made
everybody I'm town happy. The coal
and lumber dealer was doubtless the
happiest man Of ALL because the col
lection Of that S67 900 was quite a
relief Probably next in happiness
came the people who paid their obli-
cations and began TO enjoy the bless
ings which a clear conscience brings.
But not without considerable feel
ing of relief was that body of GUS
toners who pay their bills promptly
and who are forced, by the very
nature of things, to pay more than
what they consume is really worth
in order to remunerate the dealer
for the losses he would otherwise
sustain on those who persistently re-
fuse to pay.
