How do you stand on the
books OF these sixty five
South Bend merchants?

2 ATHER pertinent question = no doubt
~ some will say. Yet, it's question to which
we wish many would give thought and consider
alton.
Though the most of our customers have al
ways paid promptly, there is certain percen-
tage of our credit customers who have become
lax in the payment of their accounts. They know
themselves to be GOOD" but for some reason or
other merely put off paying, not giving thought
as to how it affects their credit
This practice has been common for sometime.
Present day merchandising and economic con-
ditions, however, cannot permit or sanction a
continuance of it. Credit, is simply a conven-
fence extended upon the basis of prompt pay
ment, and no matter if a customer is worth mil
lion dollars but is slow pay, that customer is of
less value than $50 week salaried person, who
pays when the bill is due. Slow pay (those who
take their own time in paying bills) must get in
to the prompt pay class, or lose standing with
these South Bend merchants.
So that slow-pay cannot trade one month at
one store-the next month at another-and then
90 to a third we have adopted our Credit
