Too often folk put off payment of a small debt because they assume that the amount being small, it matters little whether payment is promptly made or Many, if they knew the actual situa- tion, would feel differently. When hundreds are owing even small sums, it makes quite a difference to the merchant. If business is not as good as we would Hke it to be, the most effec- tive thing that any one can do is to keep his accounts well paid up. The payment of fifty or one hundred dol- lars not only: relieves a measure stagnation where it is paid, but it is {immediately passed on, 60 that be- fore the week end a dozen or more tight situations may be rig se That means better business for many.
