Owing to the fact that we are trying to operate our business as economically as possible we find it necessary to eliminate extended or long time credits. After February 1st all of our outstanding bills will be due and payable the first of March. So in justice to all concerned, if you should be owing us anything and you receive a statement requesting payment, we ask you not to become offended or feel that we are picking you out in particular. On February 1st we will mail to every one owing us. a statement, respectfully requesting payment as soon as possible, thereby conforming with our new policy of going on a cash basis, which will begin on March 1st. YVe are publishing this notice at this early date in order to make it convenient for all concerned. In starting out on this basis we are going to make prices that will compete with the lowest. This way of doing business may be a little more trouble on your part, but the saving will more than repay you. YVatch for our price list later. Produce accepted as cash.
