You are using money which if you paid it promptly would be used by the merchant to meet • * « his own obligations or tobuy more goods to sell. The simple truth of the matter is^that unpaid bills mean Broke Merchants. When a merchant gives long time credit to a great many people or when he accumulates bad debts his credit is ruin ed. Do your part and he can meet his obligations. He has to pay his bills promptly whether you do or not. He can not afford to lend money without interest, neither can he sell goods on long time and live. You and everyone else, can pay every bill promptly if you make up your mind to buy only those things you can afford. A household checking account arid a well-planned budget will help in solve the problem of unpaid bills.
