The general outlook is not bright to say the least. We are perfectly
willing to be as accomodating as conditions will permit Our obliga-
tions are such, that we can not continue to charge merchandise
unless our customers are sure of their ability to protect their ac-
counts with reasonable promptness- All bills not provided for, will
be due, and we shall expect prompt settlement on the first of the
month We feel sure that you fully appreciate the conditions ob-
taining, and understand the reasonableness of our position.
YOURS TRULY.

That is right Mr. Ulanton, but
as long a« the Star has the liber-

will never suspend publication,
