SAVE YOU The Dead Beat Doesn't Want His Busi ness Adiertlsed. A man who will make a debt and never pay it, or make any honest effort to pay it, or who will make a debt that he knows he will not be able to pay, is devoid of the sense of moral recti tued and deserves only the contempt of honest men everywhere. . From a commercial stand point a man's reputation for honesty is his most valuable asset and cannot be too care ful about how he preserves this good name untarnished; for blots upon it are indelis ble. He may apply a coat of whitewash in the form of an occasional act of spasmodic honesty, but the black stain upon his reputation shows through the whitewash,1 the whitewash soon, wears off, leaving him as before its ap plication, a walking adver tisement of his own hishon esty. But the honest public is getting tired of him and is determined that he . shall no longer feed upon the fruits of their honest toil. He must work and pay his debts or starve. These col lection agencies aie organized for the purpose of looking after these leeches. One of the methods (and the most) effective one) employed in dealing with this class is to advertise them hold up their dishonest hide to the Dublic gaze and when bn tation along afier him. This method of procedure gets close ajter them the dead beat doesn't want his busi ness advertised and seems Droductive of better results than any other method that has ever been tried. Elkin Times.
