Lovill-Dix Co. Coal And Terms While w* are not in any position to yet state just what the price of coal will be and just how much ton nage we will have, we can say that the prospect is that we will be {retting a little coal along at odd times, and we want to call to your attention again that 011 account of the way we have to pay for our coal now , ie: C. O. D. that is necessary that we get the cash \vhen the driver brings in the bill. Many of the best customers 1 have seem not to want to pay the driver and pay me just as soon as they we me, but our trade has grown to such extend that 1 cannot go to see all my customers as I used to and for this reason we want every one to pay the driver when he presents the bill. , r*!\J ' *• f Also by everyone paying cash, we are following out the Government's instructions to sell on a strictly cash basis as our alowance will not let us sell even a straight thirty'days time and they know that if we sell for credit that we ctfn't stand the strain, of the few bills that would not be collected. This will also close the gap between the driver and you, for where some pay cash and others don't it is very easy, and is done, for the driver to simply say "He didn't pay me," while actually he has gotten the money and spent it, thus leaving me w ith a bill against you w hich you have in reality paid, so we now make every driver turn in the cash for every bill. Please remember this. 2?r - Shelton.
