eI1EEP 1T IN CIRCULATION

The Alpena (Mich.) News, III paying
it's bills recently, has been sending with
its checks a slip bearing the above cap
ton. under which is the following state
ment:
THE usual custom of holding up bills
until the tenth of the month ties up
large sums of money which at this time
could be used to good advantage. The
News Will so far as possible hereafter
pay all invoices as soon as they are pre-
scented and audited. If the plan appeals
to you, give it a trial"
It is a plan which ought to recommend
itself instantly, in any city, without ar
gument. Nearly everybody in recent
years has got into the habit of delaying
payment more or less. Firms and indi-
viduals seem to expect Longer tredit
than they used to, and often demand it
as if it were a right. The result, OBJ
vious enough to anyone who thinks the
matter over. is to slow up business all
around. 1t is cash and liquid credit that
turn the wheels of industry and COM
MERGE. The faster money moves, the
faster business moves.
There is particular need of such ac-
celeration just now, as the Alpena paper
suggests. Nothing would do more to re-
vive business activity and prosperity
than the promptest possible payment of
bills by everybody.
1t is a heroic thing to start this reform
alone, as the News appears to be doing.
For success, it needs general co-opera-
ton. The example, however, is infec-
tious. The chances are that any business
institution which adopts this policy and
at the same time gives it sufficient publ
city will soon profit itself, in the response
of it's own customers and in the general
Improvement in the community. Prompt
payment of obligations is bread cast
upon the waters.
