CASH AND FRIENDS

The old saying is collect the bill
and you will have friend. Many
folks do not abuse extension Of credit
but some do and think they are smart
when they do it. The latter type of
course are not entitled to credit, there
can be no argument on that score.
The man who is befriended and then
scorns that person or business place
is certainly not entitled to further
consideration.
Many newspapers out over the state
have adopted, strictly cash in a6-
vance policy on political advertising
and job work and that is as it should
be. Politicians are much like others
most of them want to pay their bills
and do, but some forget" after the
campaign is over, especially if de-
feated. Paying for a dead horse" is
not so pleasant, and therefore the
cash system and more friendship.
With cash payments the prices are
also more apt to be reasonable, with
none of this figuring to get more out
of those who pay to make up for those
who forget" Cash is better all
around and makes for more harmony.
