bookkeeping charges, etc., we are cutting off the price of what we sell and giving to
our CASH customers. From now on, you will find our parts and our accessories just
as cheap as any maid order catalogue you pick up, and our shop work likewise.

LET'S MAKE THIS THE BEST
YEAR WE EVER HAD
When you buy goods or service on "open account" the seller is demonstrating a
friendly trust in you by extending you credit. When you pay promptly you prove this
trust was rightly placed.
When you do not meet your obligation, as mutually understood, you are not only
abusing this friendly confidence but you are retarding the business cycle of the
whole community, for you make it harder for the seller to meet his obligations
promptly.
The whole credit system runs around in a circle. When you pay the other felow
then some other fellow can pay you. It keeps our money in circulation here at home—
and the more prompty you are to pay your obligations the greater your chances for
getting it back.
When your grocer, butcher, doctor, clothier—when anyone with whom you deal—
extends you credit they give you a vote of confidence. When you pay your bills as
they are due you renew that confidence—and you reestablish a credit that is just the
same as having the cash fn your pocket when you need it.
The best way to make this a prosperous year for the entire community is to resolve
NOW to meet bills promptl" AND TO KEEP YOUR CREDIT GOOD.
We are going into this year on that principle—won't YOU join in helping us to
make your home town and our home town better and more prosperous by GETTING
MORE MONEY YOURSELF BY GIVING THE OTHER FELLOW HIS?
