so well along that nothing but the
continued high cost of steel and other
railroad materials can stop its con-
struction. The other is proposed

NATIONAL PAY UP WEEK
OCT. 20 TO NOV. 3
Let's All Join Hands and Work To.
gether. How the Slow Paying
Honest Man IL Aided

hOHest WAN IN AlOe0
Every means possible is used to help
the honest man who is trying to pay
his bills. II he is honest with himself
and those he owes he can get an in
definite extension of time by making
payments TO the Business Mems As
sociation. These payments are pro-
rated TO the various creditors. In this
way man who is hard pressed keeps
his record clear by putting himself un-
der an obligation which is very fair
and flexible.
Are you tempted sometimes to let
yourself slide and slip into poor
rating, because you are in fix with
no intent to defraud, yet see no way
out of it?
Now, friend you listen to this be-
fore you do anything desperate. II
you are yet honest in your intentions
and would like to get out of the hole,
u way has been devised for you to do
so with honor and self-respect. More
over, if you take up this plan, from
the moment you take hold, you are
free from all bill collectors, dunning
letters, threats of suit and all other
ills the debtor is heir to.
you simply go to the secretary of
the Business Mems Association with a
list of your obligations. A note has
been prepared that is unquestionable
fair to every person who is delinquent
and the note calls for payment ac-
cordng to your ability, regardless of
the amount; and the payments you
make will be prorated to your cred
itors.
Thereafter you have to deal only
with the secretary as by magic all the
hounds of collection, which are neces-
sary under other plans, are called off
your track, and you go about your
work in peace. AS payments are made
on your note, the secretary takes care
of your bills.
"Once more; suppose you have sick
ness or ere out of employment or from
some other cause are unable to make
payments on your note. The secretary
is human and reasonable. you have
only to convince him that you are real
ly up against it, and he will allow
you to pass payment without haul
ing you into court.
There is another advantage in this
plan, friend. BY the time you get
your note paid off you will have learn
ed to set aside definite amount from
your wages each week or each month
You have then only 20 transfer this
savings to the bank, just as though
you had another note to meet there
and 10 and behold you have joired the
thrifty class, and before you know il
IA snug nest egg in me bank makes
you independent of these uncontroll.
able vicisitudes of life, which put you
in your present fix.
Creditors want their money; they
need it; they are entitled to it, and
they should be expected to try every
way possible to get it. But they are
as human as you, you'd do the same
if your employer would not pay you
that which you had justly earned. This
is friendly tip on how to get next tc
their human side. Try our plan anc
better luck will be your reward.
"If you cannot call at the Busines:

and he will gladly call at your resi-
dence. Get ready for National Pay
