THE OZONA STOCKMAN
ANNOUNCING
Our New Business Policy of
STRICTLY
HERE’S
THE
POINT-
CASH!
EFFECTIVE
IMMEDIATELY!
Please read every word
of the message below.
AFTER A VERY Careful study of the situation and a fair trial of the cred-
it system, your laundry has decided that in order to continue to serve its custo-
mers with the same high quality work and at the same—or lower—prices charg-
ed by the larger institutions in the city, it is necessary to abandon the credit sys-
tem and go on a
STRICTLY CASH BASIS
WE HAVE FOUND that in order to continue to extend credit, it yvill be
necessary to RAISE. LAUNDRY PRICCES in Ozona and we do not feel that
such a course would be fair to those’customers who have always paid promptly.
We do not feel that to raise our prices at this time would be fair to the section we
serve and, therefore, we believe that our friends yvill understand the problem
yve have faced and will commend us for adopting this new policy—which yvill
make it possible for us to serve you in the same efficient, prompt manner and
at the same low prices. We are sure our PAYING customers do not want to
make up the deficit of the NON-PAYING ones, and yve do not intend that they
shall.
BUT IF A CASH policy is adopted it must necessarily be universal, and be
operative in the case of the paying customer as yvell as the non-paying one. Bun-
dles must be paid for upon delivery or yvhen the next bundle is called for.
CASH DEPOSITS ACCEPTED
IF THERE ARE some among our patrons who feel that weekly collections
would be too inconvenient, we will be glad to accept a deposit to the amount of
joui average monthly or bi-weekly account and credit that sum to your ac-
count thus saving you the inconvenience of paying our driver each vve^k. Care-
ful records of such deposits will be kept and itemized statements delivered to
you upon each renewal of your deposit.
WE APPRECIATE THE Patronage we have received and we hope that
oui friends and patrons will understand the necessity which alone prompts
adoption of this policy and the friendly and frank manner in which we place it
in effect
