HEARKEN
The Voice of Your Retail
Merchant
And Pay Your Bill on or Before the 16th of Each Month or Make
Satisfactory Arrangements if You Want to Preserve Your Credit.
Effective Febuary 1,1916, All Accounts Must be Paid on or Before
the 16th of Each Month. Failure to so Pay Will Mean
a Suspension of Further Credit.
WHEN YOU FAIL TO PAY YOUR TELEPHONE BILL ON OR BEFORE THE 15TH OF THE MONTH SERVICE IS SUSPENDED THERE-
FORE YOU PAY CHEERFULLY.
WHEN YOU NEGLECT TO PAY YOUR ELECTRIC BILL ON OR BEFORE THE 10TH OF EACH MONTH YOUR METER IS DISCON-
NECTED WITHOUT CEREMONY. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO PAY AND DO SO GOOD HUMOREDLY.
WHEN YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS ARE UNPAID THE POLICY LAPSES AND BECOMES WORTHLESS. YOU ARE FAMILIAR
WITH THIS INSURANCE REQUIREMENT, AND KEEP YOUR POLICIES ALIVE.
AND WHEN YOU NEGLECT OR FAIL TO PAY YOUR WATER BILL ON OR BEFORE THE 10th OF THE MONTH, YOUR OWN CITY
GOVERNMENT SHUTS OFF YOUR WATER SUPPLY WITHOUT NOTICE. YOU KNOW THIS AND PAY WITHOUT A MURMUR.
BELIEVING THAT YOUR RETAIL MERCHANT IS ENTITLED TO AS MUCH, IF NOT MORE, CONSIDERATION AS ANY PUBLIC
SERVICE CORPORATION OR CONCERN, THE RETAIL MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION OF HARTSHORNE HAVE ADOPTED AS INDIVIDUAL
MEMBERS AND AS A WHOLE THE RULE OF SUSPENSION OF CREDIT ON ALL ACCOUNTS NOT PAID ON OR BEFORE THE 16TH OF
EACH MONTH.
YOUR RETAIL MERCHANT CAN LESS AFFORD TO CARRY THE BURDEN OF YOUR UNPAID ACCOUNTS THAN MOST ANY
CLASS OF BUSINESS WITH WHICH YOU DEAL. HE MUST P*Y THE JOBBER FOR THE GOODS HE SELLS YOU ON CREDIT AND AT
A VERY LOW MARGIN OF PROFIT. IT IS UNJUST AND BUR0ENSOME FOR YOUR RETAIL MERCHANT TO HAVE TO PAY INTER-
EST ON YOUR BILLS, WHICH HE DOES WHEN YOU DO NOT ?AY HIM.
WE BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL AGREE THAT THIS RULE IS BEING ESTABLISHED PURELY FOR SELF PROTECTION AND
WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST DESIRE TO WORK A HARDSHIP ON ANY ONE. A SUSPENSION OF CREDIT TO THOSE WHO FAIL TO PAY
ON OR BEFORE THE 16TH OF EACH MONTH DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOUR CREDIT IS NOT GOOD, BUT THAT YOUR MERCHANT NEEDS
THE MONEY.
THEREFORE, PLEASE TAKE NOTICE
All accounts at the store of the Hartshorne Retail Merchants Asso-
ciation will be henceforth due and payable at such stores on the 1st
of the month. If not paid on or before the 16th of the month further
credit on such unpaid accounts will be suspended without notice.
Please prepare to comply with this requirement as promptly and
cheerfully as you do the same rule enforced by the Telephone
Company, Electric Company and the City Water Department.
Very Respectfully,
Hartshorne Retail Merchants' Association
