_ Bellefonte, Pa, Pa., November Y 1924,
A NEW BILLING PLAN FOR THE
BELL.
The Bell Telephone company of
Pennsylvania will introduce a new
billing plan in the Bellefonte territory
beginning November 1st which is re-
garded by accounting experts as em-
bodying the most advanced and sci-
entific methods of public utility ac-
counting in the country today.
C. W. Heilhecker, manager for the
company at this place, had this to say
in regard to the new practice. “The
new plan is called ‘rotation billing’
and briefly it means that central of-
fices will be divided into groups, the
bills for each group to be rendered on
a different date. Depending on the
central office through which service is
received, subscribers’ bills after No-
vember 1st will be sent out each
month dated the 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th,
21st or 26th of the month, instead of
all bills being dated the first of the
month as was the past practice. As
far as the subscribers in Bellefonte
are concerned, the new billing date
each month will be the 21st.
“Qut-of-town calls will be shown on
the new bill up to the date of the bill
instead of ten days prior to that date
and local service charges will be bill-
ed for a month in advance of the date
of the bill which is the same as the
past practice.
“By spreading the Accounting work
involved over the month instead of
having it accumulate at the end of the
month, there will be a saving in time,
labor and money, for the Telephone
company. Furthermore since the bills
will carry out-of-town charges up to
date, they will be clearer and more
convenient for subscribers and much
"time will be saved for both subscrib-
ers and the company, because fewer
questions will arise in regard to the
accounts.
“To make the plan effective it will
be necessary to send out two bills in
November for subscribers in Belle-
fonte the first dated November 1st
will cover local service charges only
up to November 21st which is the
new billing date and charges on out-
of-town calls from September 21st to
October 20th inclusive.
“The second November bill will be
dated November 21st and will cover
local service charges up to December
20th inclusive and charges on out-of-
town calls from October 21st up to
November 20th inclusive, so that all
out-of-town charges will be included
up to the date of the bill. s
“Subsequent bills will carry local
service charges for one month in ad-
vance, and charges on out-of-town
calls for the past.”
Two !arge Mountain Lions Given to
Penn State.
Just as a big gathering of alumni
and students had worked itself into a
good, old-time football rally pitch in
the auditorium at The Pennsylvania
State College during the annual alum-
ni homecoming celebration at State
two weeks ago, a pair of huge Ame1i-
can mountain lions suddenly appeared
on the stage.
Both were snarling viciously and
one had its right paw upraised to
strike. There was a gasp from the
2000 people jammed in a building
made to seat only 1300, but fear, if
there was any, was quickly dispelled
as the great beasts, whose kind for-
merly roamed the mountains of Cen-
tral Pennsylvania, were observed to
remain perfectly motionless. They
were full of sawdust and excelsior and
quickly pronounced harmless by
“Hickey” Smith, 07, who with Cuth-
bert Mather, ’21, secured the skins in
Colorado. for the alumni association
which presented them to the college
at the homecoming celebration. The
mountain lion is the so-called “mas-
cot” of Penn State and her athletic
teams and the stuffed symbols, each
measuring eight feet from nose to tip
of tail, will stand in the Varsity hall,
campus home of Penn State athletes.
It makes no difference to Andy
Mellon whether it is a pot or a kettle
if it is made of aluminum.

“SIGHT UNSEEN”
TRADE IS GAMBLE
Consumer Takes long Chance
When He Buys From the
Mail Order House.
GENERALLY IS LOSING GAME
Method of Doing Business Is Very
Different When You Purchase
Goods From Your Home
Merchant.
(Copyright.)
When you were a youngster, did you
ever make a trade, “sight unseen?”
Of course you did. What boy has not
risked his jackknife or his choicest mar-
ble on such a proposition and how oft-
en has he repented of his rash deed
when he discovered what he got in the
trade? He generally found that the
deal turned out to the advantage of
the one who made the proposition.
There is a little of the gambling in-
stinct in the blood of nearly every man,
woman and child, but even the hard-
ened gambler likes to get a “run for
his money.” The “sight unseen” prop-
osition doesn’t appeal to him in the
least. There are thousands of people,
however, who would be properly indig-
nant if they were accused of being
gamblers, who every day take a chance
on the greatest gambling game in the
world. And worse than that, they are
risking their money on a “sight up-
seen” proposition.
When one of the thousands of per
sons who build up and keep up the
great mail order houses of the country
sends his money away to pay for some
article that he has selected from the
mail order catalogue, he is taking a
chance on getting what he expects to
get. The mail order house may be
perfectly honest and still the purchas-
er stands a good chance of not get-
ting what he expects to get. The mail
order catalogues are filled with pic-
tures that catch the eye. The de-
scriptions ‘are brief, as they must be
when thousands of articles are to be
described within the confines of one
book. No matter how hard the mail
order house might try to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, it would be an impossibility.
The buyer is simply taking a chance.
Buying “Sight Unseen.”
How much more satisfactory it i:
to walk into a store in your home town
and ask to see an article which you
may have seen advertised in your
home paper. What would anyone
think of your business ability or your
common sense if you walked into a
store at home and said: “I saw a
picture in the paper today of a. suit
which I liked very much. Please wrap
up one for me. Here's the money.”
The merchant would think that you
were crazy, but that is exactly what
you do every time you send an order
You buy “sight
unseen” and you haven't a ghost of a
chance of getting your money back if
the article is unsatisfactory when it
reaches you.
How different is the proceeding
.vhen you go into the store in your
own home town to buy a suit of
clothes, or a stove or a yard of ribbon.
You may have seen a picture of it in
the merchant’s advertisement in the
home paper and you know that, as the
merchant is reliable, you can count on
the goods being as he represents them
in his advertisement. But does he ask
you to take his word for everything?
Does he hide the article behind the
counter and tell you that you can’t
even see it until you buy it and pay
over the money for it? Hardly. If
the article is not already in plain sight
on the counter, the merchant produces
it for your inspection. If it does not
exactly suit -you, he has others that
are a little different and that he is glad
to have you inspect.
Get Merchant's Guarantee.
Then, if it is a suit of clothes you
are buying, or a piece of dress goods
or a pair of socks, you may ask if the
merchant will guarantee that it will
wear as long as an article of that kind
could be expected to wear and he will
tell you either that he will guarantee
it or that he will not. If he tells you
that he will guarantee it you will know
that you will get your money back or
another suit or another pair of socks
in its place if it doesn’t wear like it
should, for the merchant, besides be-
ing an honest man in most cases, can-
not afford not to make his word good.
He is dependent upon your business
and that of others in his own commu-
nity and he cannot afford to misrepre-
sent his goods.
After having all this opportunity to
see what you are buying, you take your
suit or your stove or whatever it is
vou buy home or it is sent home for
you without any delivery charges, and
after you get home and take another
look at it and decide you don’t want
it after all, you send it back.
You are not buying something “sight
anseen” when you buy from your home
merchant. You don’t'look at a picture
| of an article in a newspaper, read a
short description of it, go to the post
office and buy a money order and send
it to the merchant with the instruc-
tions, “Send me a suit of clothes”—or
a stove or whatever it may be—*“and
I'll pay your delivery man 50 cents for
delivering it to me.”
There's a world of difference in tha
cwo methods of doing business and its
not hard to figure out which is the best
for the man who is doing the buying.
