IMPORTANT NOTICK
—
A large number of subscriptions are
now due. It will be greatly appreciated if
you will pay promptly when the bill is
presented. Our collector now and then
runs across people who say they ordered
the paper stopped, but have continued to
receive it, and in some cases they decline
to pay. The law is explicit. If you do
not want the paper when it has been or
dered stopped and it continues to come,
return it to the postman marked “refused.”
If, however, you do not do this anil con
tinue to receive the paper you MUST
PAY FOR IT. In cases of this kind
where refusal to pay is made, The Monitor
will take legal action to-collect. We hope
this will be unnecessary.
