Why Do Banks Insist

Upon their borrowers taking care of their notes prompt
ly on their due date?
If you make an appointment with friend and fail
to keep the appointment advise your friend that it
will be impossible you have not kept your promise and
quite likely you have disappointed your friend
When you borrow money from bank you give
note which is your promise to return the money at ma
turty If you do not make payment as agreed and fail
to advise your banker why you cannot, you have not
kept your promise and quite likely disappointed your
banker friend.
The man who promptly meets his maturing obi
cations or explains why he cannot is not only showing
proper regard for his Promise" but is building him
self additional credit One who does otherwise is de-
stroying what credit he has.
