Business is a game — albeit a serious one. Play fair with competitors and customers. Be a sport and you will never be disqualified. OPPOSE NEW jNSTALMENT BILL Merchants' Association Against Amendment That Would Require Giving a Five-day Notice in Person Before Foreclosure of Lien The Merchants' Association of New York has entered a strong protest against an amendment to Assemblyman A-lterman's bill now before the New York State Assembly relating to the foreclosure of liens on merchandise purchased on the instalment plan. In a letter to Assemblyman Duke, Chairman on Codes of the New York State Legislature, the Merchants' Association says: "We are receiving protests from responsible members of this Association, especially concerns selling goods and chattels on the instalment plan, against Assemblyman Alterman's bill (Assem. Int. 542) to amend Section 72 of the New York City Municipal Court Code. "Under the proposed amendment the seller, before he could obtain a warrant of seizure in an action to foreclose his lien, would be required to give the delinquent debtor five days' notice of such application, served in the manner provided for personal service of summons. "In a great many cases where it is necessary to foreclose this class of lien the delinquent debtor cannot be located. Therefore, such personal service could not be made, and thus the practical efifect of the statute would be defeated. The result desired, we believe, could as well be accomplished if the law were to provide that the service of the notice should be made by registered mail to the last-known address of the delinquent vendee, lessee or mortgagor. "We find upon inquiry that practically all of the responsible 'instalment' houses, as a matter of business policy and courtesy to delinquent customers, before initiating action to foreclose a lien on chattels sold under contract, give the customer much more than five days' notice; and while not objecting to the principle of the proposed amendment, these concerns do seriously object to the 'personal service' requirement of the amendment. "In view of these conditions we earnestly urge that the bill be amended to provide for the service of such notice by registered mail." LATEST SONORA ART POSTERS Artistic New Sonora Posters Feature Scenes From "Samson and Delilah" and "Pagliacci" Continuing the production of its excellent series of art display posters, the advertising department of the Sonora Phonograph Co. has announced two new posters featuring scenes from "Samson and Delilah" and "Pagliacci." As usual, these displays are multi-colored and, in addition to featuring a scene from each opera, the posters also illustrate a Sonora period model. The accompanying illustration, showing the "Samson and Delilah" poster, will give some idea of the attractiveness of these displays. The business man like the soldier should never lose sight of his objective — success.
