EDUCATIONAL PROCRM;
FOLLOWS PUBLICITY TEST
Advice received from St. Louis by the
Retail Credit association of Malheur
county shows that the American pub­
lic is quick to respond to newspaper
advertising which points out the value
of paying bills promptly a$ an import­
ant meeans of speeding up business and
bringing back prosperity. Test cam­
paigns with “Pay Promptly" as the
theme have been successfully run under
the direction of the National Retail
Credit AssociaUon in a number of
cities.
“Back of the advertising tests, and
the consequent decision to enlarge the
educational work, is the fact that
American Retail merchants are in the
banking business to the extent of $28.-
000.000.000 worth of open credits and
installment sales annually.” wrote
manager-Treasurer David J. Woodlock
of the national organizaUon. “Approx­
imately $15,000,000,000 or more than
half of it is not paid when due. As a
result of thb public’s failure to pay bills
when they should be paid, billions of
dollars of merchants’ capital is tied up
in frozen assets. We find that consis­
tent advertising in test cities has speed­
ed up collections effectively and there­
by helped to increase the dollar turn­
over in retail trade.”
