Many of you still owe us accounts brought over from
1909 and tne years before. Let us again urge you to .set
tie these promptly. We need the money, can't do business
without it. It's far more pleasant to us to-have you come
in and settle voluntarily than Jo have to ash you for it re
peatedly or even once. ,
Some of you who think you are too good to be "dunned" luj
had better come 'across soon or you will meet "Mr. Uunn."
Nobody who fails to pay within a reasonable length of time
without a mighty good excuse, is too good to be dunned
fem this shop. . . ; ; . : -
We- thank you iii anticipation and are always ready to
serve those who pay. - t 1
