HIH -IS NATIONAL AFFAIR (Merchants Trade Journal.) February 21-26 inclusive will be National Pay-up Week. This great big national movement will be adver tised extensively.- Many methods of promoting it will be adopted. What promises' to be the greatets organized effort ever inaugurated to better local business conditions in every city, town and community throughout the country is National Pay-up Week, which will be from Feb ruary 21-26 inclusive. ' Surely no long argument is needed in order to justify the necessity of such a movement. Every retail mer chant, doctor, lawyer, preacher, every one appreciates the fact that there is an enormous economic waste in our present credit system, or rather the lack of systemi , Credit is a convenience, a great strong' arm of business, until such time as it is abused, and then it be comes a tax on all of us. The man who either cannot or will not pay his bills, by that very act forces the rest of Us to pay them for him. Every retail merchant appreciates the situation, and. certainly every merchant in every line of business will welcome this national movement. Merchants, it's up to you to make of this Pay-up Week what can be made of it. If in your town it does not accomplish big results, you will be to blame. In the ADril. 1915. issue , of the Journal, we published an article telling about Pay-up Week as instituted in the little city of Waukon, Iowa. Since that time we have received dozens up on dozens of inquiries from individual merchants, merchants associations, chambers of commerce, commercial clubs, manufacturers, jobbers and out ers from all of the country, arking for information concerning Pay-up Week. While this article was being written, two inquiries came in. As a result of the information the Journal has been able to give on this subject, a number of towns have fol lowed Waukon's lead in putting on a Pay-up Week, and now the Journal is glad to-announce' that plans have been completed for making Pap-up Week a national event, and the date is Feb ruary 21-26 inclusive, 1916. Every retail merchant, every manu facturer, every preacher, doctor, lawyer,- blacksmith, every individual, should be interested in this movement. The plan haa been tried. It has turned a large amount of money into the hands of the persons to whom it belonged. In Waukon, a town of but little over two thousand popula tion, the merchants received on ac counts in one week a little over $50,000. Mind you, this $50,000 was standing on their books. Much of it was old; much of it had been given up; but be cause of the enthusiasm engendered through the advertising used in pro moting Pay-nip Week, these people could not resist the presure, and they went in and paid their bills. True, not all of this $50,000 was old ac counts. The facts are, people running current bills seemed anxious to pay their bills. Merchants, do you realize that millions upon millions of dollars are standing out this way, and mil lions and millions of dollars can be collected during National Pay-up Week, February 21-26? The very fact that this has been made a national affair, the very fact that newspapers all over the United States will be talking about it, pro moting it, the very fact thi.t tvory body in the United States is in line on it, is going to give it an impetus that nothing can stop. Right in your town you can make this thing "clear the slate," almost, if you will. Call your commercial club together. If you havn't one, fret the merchants to gether. Talk it over. Lay your plans now. Don't wait. One great trouble with the average town is they do not pet into the game at the right time. They wait. They seem to be hoping that somebody will come along and do these thiiig3 for them. A large amount of advertising mat ter of a peculiar type has been pro pared for this occasion. There are il lustrative stamps already gummed that merchants should use on every letter that goes out.. One of them should be put on every nackae-e that leaves your store. The druggist ought to stick ioiio on every bottle that goes out of his store. Tho physician should have these stamps along and put them on every (prescription he writes. Put them every place. Then in addition to these, posters that are to be pasted up and nailed up will be furnished. These are of peculiar color and peculiar shape. Then there are banners and a lot of other special material that is ready for you it's yours. The whole movement is being pro moted and backed by the National As sociation of Merchants Trade Journal Readers. This organization includes merchants in practically every town in the United States. This association is doing this because it feels it ought to be done. In order to illustrate the point more forcibly: Let us tell vou that out in Colorado when those strikes were on, when the peaplo of tho state thought that financially there was r.o money, they felt that they were simply bankrupt, somebody started a Pay-up movement and to the sorprij of the people of Colorado money enough was uncovered to pay hundreds and hun dreds of thousands of dollars of bills. It wasn't that Colorado didn't have the money, but it went into hiding. When this state-wide movement was gotten underway, this money eamo out and it paid bills, nnd it saved Colorado from an er.-.bairassing situation. Bulletins are being sent out to .-.boat two thousand newspapers. Thuso papers are in every state covering every corner of the country. They will be getting busy. Mayors are going to be asked to issue proclama tions calling attention to National Pay up Week, February 21-26 inclusive. Now in summing tho matter up, Na tional Pay-up Week will become a na tional affair. The date is February 21-26 inclusive, 1916. It is promoted by the National As sociation of Merchants Trade Journal Readers. .; ,. Advertising matter, including stamps already gummed, to go on every Utter, every package, to be stuck everyplace and any place, are ready. Posters to fee pasted up and tacked up are ready. These posters are of a peculiar shape and peculiar color. Other advertising matter is ready. The Journal's travel ing men, covering every section of the United States, are continually hand? ing out- advertising matter. The Journal is using these stamps on its own mailing matter, on it own st -tionery. , j What about the merchant who doesn't do a credit business? Well, he can benefit by it. When people go to pay their bills they are going- to buy; they are going to feel better. It is going to bring money out of hiding, and the merchant who does a cash business will get some of it. Possibly lie of all men should be interested in it. ' There isn't a wholesale house, or a manufacturer, in the United States but what ought to iret out and put their whole energy back of this thing. Let's make it a banner week in the lives of the American people that will be remembered as long as we live. For once let's do something big. By the way, the illustration on the stamp shows a circle of men handing a $5.00 bill from one to the other. The wording is such as to show that the $5.00 bill goes the circle. Every man pays his bill with the one $5.00 "The stamps are attractive. You will be proud of them; you will be glad to use them. ; These stamps are put up in 'books of one hundred stamps each, all per forated and gummed, ready to use. One thing that is needed in the re tail business today is for the mer chants to begin .to do something big, something national, something that is big enough that it will hit hard, some thing that will attract attention. - Want Ads.

You insure because you want to relievo yourself of a hoavy and un certain liability. The risk and uncertainty is us3umed by a financial company that operates on such a large scale that the laws of average oaaq t-)uiG;ao3un icnpiAiput aqj: ojrmume a definite quantity. WHAT INSURANCE IS SAFEST? Insurance in ah old-line corporation is by far the safest and best, and in the long run the cheapest. WHY? 1st, because they have larpe securities and capital guaranteed 'by the government; 2nd, they write such an extensive amount of insurance that the law of averages removes the danger of a few largo lor.ses upsetting the company, a menace always hovering over small companies; 3rd, an old-lino com pany completely assumes your risk, while if you insure in a mutual company or society you still carry a (percentage of your own risk and assumo the same percentage of all the risks insured by the company and automatically you become liable as a member of a concern over whose operations you have practically no control. DOES IT PAY? In exchange for a certain payment the stock company entirely as sumes your liability of loss for a definite amount. If you suffer a loss, of course it pays to have insurance. Still you do not want a loss even if you are insured. But you protect yourself as far as possible against loss from an uncertain though probable cause, by paying a small and certain amount. By so doing you relieve your resources from sudden strains, and free your capital for active business or living uses. LET US WRITE YOUR INSURANCE. Whether it is FIRE, PLATE GLASS, AUTO, LIFE, ACCIDENT. AND HEALTH, BONDS or any other form of INSURANCE the aV ' applies. Wo have strong companies, we write on equitablo rates, we j (prompt attention, and offer reliable and experienced services. GEORGE HUNTINGTON CURREY, " Manager Insurance Department. j Geo. H.
