Credit is simply a matter of convenience. Every man and woman desires to keep their credit good. There is but one sure way to have a good credit and
that is to "Pay Your Bills Prpptly." 'How can you be sure that you are going to be able to pay your bills when they are due? You must save first and
when you contract a bill you must know in advance where the money is coming from to pay that bill. The merchants are to blame for Bad. Bills as much
as the people who contract them. It is so easy to get credit Any one can have things charged. The merchant should know that the man or woman who
asks for credit is able to pay promptly before credit is extended. Every person who asks for credit should be sure that they will be in a position to pay
promptly before they contract a debt and all will be well Too many people think that it is right to buy goods on their credit whether they are We they
can pay promptly. They simply take a chance and "IF they cannot meet the bill when due they let the merchant worry. This destroys credit and is the worst
. handicap an yone can have. Pay your biEs promptly and keep your credit good.
