Up to the present, citizens have been able to procure suffici- ent supplies of 'coal for house consump- tion, but, as in other places, this has been dealt out in small quantities by the deal- ers. As regards the schools the uncertain- ty of any shipments of furnace coal reach- ing Kincardine within the next few days caused the foregoing action to be taken by the Board of 'Education A couple of carloads would, however, relieve the situ- ation, and these may arrive almost any day.

Without the slightest intention of appearing abrupt we desire to state that we need all accounts settled NOW and that means WITHOUT FAIL during the month of January (the earlier in the month the better). It costs us 32,000.00 more to finance our business than it did one year ago owing to the High cost of footwear and you can therefore readily understand the difficult position in which we are placed. We have almost $2000 in our books WHICH IS NOW DUE erd it is IM. PERATIVE that this shall be paid WITHOUT DELAY. In fact it HAS COME TO THIS - We shall be compelled to discontinue giving credit to those who cannot ley promptly and therefore we wish to have it distinctly understood that we shall have to refuse credit further to those customers who cannot pay their accounts this month.
