Show That Made Them Pay. A small tradesman once put up the following sign in his shop: "Please don't ask for credit, as a refusal often offends." Finding that this had little .effect and that his credit book was attaining at-taining great proportions, he resolved on trying another plan, and immediately immediate-ly fixed up another notice In place of the former one: "The names and addresses ad-dresses of all those who buy goods at this shop, and don't pay for them, can be seen in the credit book on payment of a fee of ten cents." The result was miraculous. Not only did the curious pay their ten cents by the dozen, but those owing accounts speedily settled them until the credit book was a thing of the past. |
