Letter No. 5 



Mr. Slow Pay, 



Chicago, 111. 

 Dear Sir : — 



As we did not hear from you this morning we have fully de- 

 cided to take other steps to enforce settlement of that past due 

 account. 



However, a business acquaintance advises us that he believes 

 you to be entirely prompt and reliable, and we have therefore 

 decided to wait a few days longer. 



You must certainly realize that your credit standing depends 

 on 3'our fair dealing, and fair dealing certainly requires you to 

 answer our letters. 



Of course, we realize that it is entirely possible that you have 

 neither received or read our previous letters personally. In 

 view of the statement referred to above we shall expect to hear 

 from you at once. 



Yours very truly,
