Your Own Actions Determine Your Prosperity and Happiness. Responsibility Cannot Be Shifted. - Whether You Are Employer or Employee, the Success of Your Business or the Holding of Your Job Depends Upon the Financial Condition of Those With Whom You Do Business The Closely Woven Fabric of Our Commercial Life Makes Each of Us Dependent Upon the other—Failures Hurt Every One of Us

What Are You Going To Do About It? PAY ALL MONTHLY ACCOUNTS PROMPTLY redit is a much abused element of business- The majority use it conscientiously as a convenience, while others use it to obtain merchandise or service as a pretext to delay payment over a Ion# period )f time. i ^rstly, permit uS to extend our thanks to Mr. Prompt Pay. Without him many firms in Greencastlo could not continue in business- s . - This advertisement is not directed to those who understand and intelligently use their credit, but rather to those who have habitually and flagrantly abused it. Business conditions are better today than they have been in many years. Banks are more lenient, and credits are less restricted. Conditions all over the country are much better for the public, and to keep them such—to keep America on the continued path of prosperity—it is vitally important that you pay all monthly accounts PROMPTLY- Keep the faith and maintain the confidence the credit men of Greencastle have in you and your ability to pay. If it becomes necessary for you to violate the terms upon which credit was granted vou bv delavimr uavment bevond the tenth of the month, notify the member of this Association to whom you owe money, so that he cun make his arrangements accordingly. y ^ P Y y Pay up. Keep your credit good- It will make better business for the grocer, butcher, doctor, dry goods merchant, druggist, shoe merchant, clothier, utility companies, coal dealer plumber—in fact all businesses and professions. A good paying clientele makes for lower prices, because it enables the merchant to buy on better terms and lowers thecost of doing business.

The Merchant’s Collections are the Same to Him as Your Salary is to You! He Must Be Paid to Continue Giving Service If you work for pay you are “in business for yourself.” Your stock in trade is “SERVICE.” This you sell to your employer. As long- as he continues to pay you on a certain date his CREDIT with you is good. Rut should he FAIL TO PAY, you would be justified in severing relations with him at once. The merchant to whom you owe last month’s bill is your employe. If you have thoughtlessly neglected his PAY DAY, isn’t he justified in declining to deliver to your home more merchandise? How is the merchant to continue to give YOU merchandise or service if he hasn’t the money to KEEP UP? You couldn’t continue to give service to your employer if he neglected YOUR PAY DAY, could you? And then there is another very important point you must REMEMBER. If the entire community is prosperous, there are more positions, more places for you to sell your services. In times of stress EVERY BUSINESS MAN is affected by POOR BUSINESS. Think it over—there is considerable food for thought—and this is time for SERIOUS THINKERS. PAY UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR CREDIT GOOD

Are You Abusing the Courtesy of a Charge Account? . Pay Up! Keep Your Credit Good and Be Assured of a Charge Account Unfortunately, there are many people who have a wrong idea about a “Charge re-count.” Some seem to think it a SPECIAL DISPENSATION to PAY WHEN THEY PLEASE; more often people allow the first and tenth of the month to pass by thoughtlessly, forgetting their responsibilities to those merchants who have been waiting for PAY DAY. Credit means confidence. It is the basis for the hulk of the world’s business. But for you to think lightly of the confidence \ OUR MERCHANT places in YOU is a breach of FAITH. If it were not for a fairly large percentage of buyers who PAY THEIR BILLS PROMPTLY, on the first or not later than the tenth'of the month, selling costs would be higher, consequently increasing retail prices. When a merchant extends to you the courtesy of a charge account, it is understood that all hills are due and payable between the first and tenth of the month following. Not partially paid, hut PAID IN FULL. FORM THE HABIT OF’ PAYING YOUR BILLS PROMPTLY. You owe it to yourself and to the merchant who has “trusted” you with his merchandise. Demonstrate to the merchant that you have THE RIGHT to a charge account. BAY ALL MONTHLY BILLS IN FULL BEFORE THE 10th OF THE MONTH
