PAY CASH AND SAVE."
As announced before, November 1
is the date when we shall transform
our business into a strictly cash one,
(We make this second announcement
to prevent any possible misunder
standingin the matter, because we be
lieve all customers will co-operate with
us in making It a success when they
realine that we adopt the cash system
because we know it willl enable us to
better promote the interests of nl
who trade with us.
, It should also be understood that
the adoption of the cash system has
no individual bearing. We have in
the past extended credit to everybody
we thought worthy whether they were
financially responsible or not.
In changing to the other jilnn, we
must, in justice, be equally unbiased
and decline credit t every one, no
matter how ample their financial re
sources may be.
' No one can take any exceptions to
a rule that applies to everybody alike
and we ask all customers to kindly
bear this rule in mind afler Novem
