ARE YOU SURE YOU OWE IT ?
You have had bills presented that you thought you
had paid, or for goods you know you had never
bought. Nobody but a Bill Collector realizes the
number of disputed bills there are the first of the
\ month. Of course, it’s somebody’s mistake. Goods
are often charged to the wrong customers; the mer
chant failed to credit your account when you paid
him. No matter what the reason, you don’t like to
have these things occur. Just try the Cash Plan in
the future and avoid all the objectionable features of
the credit business.
You pay a big interest for all che “accommoda
tions” you get at the credit stores. Even when you
pay cash at a store doing a credit business, you
have to pay Credit Prices. The merchant charges
the losses from “bad accounts” to his cash cus
tomers by doubling his profits. That’s the only way
he can keep even. It pays to pay Cash.

The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable ty, the founds

One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultiv; uman voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s wi :ause all do not
