    Description

    A statement dated March 1, 1917 was sent to a Virginia lady by P. F. Collier & Son.   She was gently reminded that her debt had been reduced to and that she was ten months behind on her monthly installments.  She apparently then wrote to the company asking for more time to pay.  In response, she received a letter from the manager by date of March 19, 1917, advising that "we will wait until next winter for payment on these books."  Ebenezer Scrooge would have had an attack of apoplexy to hear such a deal!
    These are the original documents, as depicted in the photos.
