Letter to l>o|ini|iiont Subscribers Dr.\r Fkikniu Quito a number of people have the bad luilut of lot t i n their subscript ions to a new-paper run alunir without paying ft'i\ attention to the time of expiration. Wo are ?orry t<? say I thai vou are one r?f thum. Do voii ever think of the in convenience it )>t11k the printer to? 'lake a plain, everyday view of the matter once I Suppose yon had 2,000 bushels ! i t wheat or potatoes, and that yon did the same as the newspaper publisher sold it out all over the country, one bushel to each in dividual, delivered, and he said that he'd call und pay for it "some time." Now, the*ellin<! is easy enough. But some day you need $.'>00 or $1 ,000. Then you run up a<*ain*t trouble. You don't have the time to #o and see each one of your individ unl customers. You write them a letter. To write to half of tham ?1,000?is a hip job, and then the paper and envelopes nnd stamps will cost you $25, besides the time Inst. That makes a pretty big item, doesn't it f However, that is not the worftt of it. You need that money the . very worst kind. To i our horror, but few of them pay any attention to your letter. Each one of them ap parent!v savs to himself: "Well, it doesn't suit me ju>t now. The amount I owe is small, and it won't help much anyway. I'll just let them wait." Now where are you? You need $500 had; you have $1,000 or $1,500 coming to you, but you can't get it How are you going to meet your obligations? It is awfully provoking, i>n't it ? That is just our condition right now We need money. We havo large hills due now and coming due to pay. Our friends have failed to send their portion. Don't \ou see the predic ment w're in, ntu that unlets you help us, out, vve are going to get deeper in the mire ? We must pay for everything that we use. Ir wo fail to settle the first of each m nth, we get no more credit, that's all; and that's quite enough Now we are not willing to believe that you mean to cripple us intentionally. We presume it is just oversight; or, perhaps, you have never looked at it the way it ready affects us We would like you to do to us just the way you would wsnt your neighbor do unto you It gives ua real pleuauae to give credit to thosw who pay promptly; hut wo must have money, and since paper has almost doubled in price, we can't afford to wait long. Now then, just come or send or mail to us ri^ht uwav your dues Then we can pay our debt*, and keep the tnachinu a-going.
