"PAW WEEK" . N EXT. 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. -

WHY DO YOU USE IT?
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.
