Why Merchants Extend Credit to You
It is in confidence that you will pay your account
that causes merchant to be willing to send his
goods to your home upon your mere promise to pay.
If you meet your obligations promptly, further
credit will be extended as desired and you will be
commodated in every way.

Save Your Own Money
Don't try to save money
at the expense Of mer-
chants. A bank account
is a good thing to have
but don't let it consist Of
dollars that should be
used in paying debts.

WHY Merchants Withdraw Credit From You
IF a merchant refuses to grant your request Tor
credit, you can be sure it is because you nave not
dealt souarey with him in the past or that ne has
heard from other sources that you do not pay your
accounts promptly when due, and thus he does not
dare to trust you.

with yourself, with mer-
chants and with the world
in general. Pay for what
you get and at the time

BE HONORABLE

Your honor is at stake
when you accept goods on
credit. The only honorable
way is to be prompt in
paying for some.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1920-08-16

Be Sure to Make Good
Don't shatter the faith
which a merchant shows
in you when he permits
you to have his goods
without first pay
ing for same. Pay
promptly and his faith
will increase.

Pay All Bills
Promptly

Don't think you can
keep your credit good
by paying part of
your bill and letting
the rest 60. You'll
find that you will be
measured more by the
bills you do not pay
rather than the ones
that you do take care
IF on time.

Cutting Out Lines
in Musical ShOWS

Just what becomes of the book of the
musical show has always been shrouded
in mystery. No author has ever been
able to tell just what happened to his
book, but one far drawer than the
others, Thomas j. Gray, who wrote
the book of THE Greenwich Village
F'ollies, 1920" now at the Shubert Thea
tire, comes forward to solve the mys-
terry. Says Mr.. Gray:
THE author of a musical show stood
outside of the Glitter Theatre and adj
mired his name as 1t appeared In golden
letters backed by dark red paint. His
name was down there as the author
of the book of musical revue. Surely
all, his friends must feel proud they
knew him, for he Is a young author
and still thought being In the show
business meant something.
After the show is over the audience
files out, while the boys of the musical
union, who hide in the orchestra pit,
play the song hit of the show, provid-
ing, of course, there is a song hit. and
they play it anyhow If there isn't. In
the crowd the author sees friend,
the friend spies him, the author starts
to get his best bow and smile oiled
up for sweet words OF compliment.
1.-THE friend walks over, continues to
put on his gloves, mods slightly and
says indifferently. Hello, what did you
write in this thing?' Zowie! Also WOW!

and Ouch! Then the author wonders
where are the scenes that he brought
into the rehearsal hall all nicely typed
with a laugh in every line for each
one of the comedians; the author felt
sure he had q scream on every page.
The authors work seemed so important
that day when there were no choruS
girls around, the scenery had not even
been started and the costumes were
still a sacred secret in the designers
brain That was the time the author
was supreme.
"The speciality dancers have not ar
rived, the vaudeville acts are still play
ing In vaudeville, and the author really
seemed to be OF some Importance. Then
things began to change. The author
arrived one afternoon to find that
very funny scene he had written. in the
coal mine, had been cut out, because
the scenery would be too h-avy>to set
in q hurry. If the author is very
young chap, he will probably worry
about this and even go so far as to ask
the manager why.
1.-THE following afternoon the author
is asked to write new scene around
an idea one of the comedians has Tor
lawyers office. Just about this time the
author Is told that the funny scene ne
out because the designer wanted winter
costumes in that particular part of the
show. BY the time the dress rehearsal
arrives the lawyers office scene has been
discarded, ship scene has been changed
to a Fifth avenue tea shop, and all the
dialogue written for the aeroplane field
has been changed to fit shoe store.
1.-THE show opens. it is big hit, but
the critics say 1t lacks comedy, the au-
thor finds he has few lines In the
show here and there and some or the
ideas he submitted are in use. II he is
a very young author he will worry very
much about this state OF ahairs. win
the older author 1t is different
AFTER all, the only consolation the
author gets for his book is green piece
of paper he receives weekly, in nice,
long, white envelope, which ne puts
through the bars o. a window Labelled
Receiving Teller
This, as they would not say In the
classics is fair enough
