TWO GLARE COUNTY MEN.
In the Michigan Legislature That
Opened Tuesday,    .
Glare Medical Association.
The Clare Medical Association at
their meeting on Jan. 2nd. 1905, adopted the following agreement:
To whom it may concern:—
Because many people will employ a
physician with no intention of ever
paying him; and because many persons
who are able to pay are very slow in
clolner so; and because we consider that
we are entitled to as prompt payment
for our services as any other laborer
would expect for work honestly and
faithfully done: *
We, the physicians of Clare, have
made the following agreement:
1st, that the names of all persons
who run an account with us after
Jan. 1st, 1905, and allow the same to
stand for more than one year without
a settlement;
2nd, that the names of all persons
who are found to be owing two or
more of the physicians of Glare, after
four months from Jan 11st, 1905, for
accounts that have been made in the
past, and which accounts they are not
making an endeavor to pay as fast as
possible; and are paying no attention
to statements sent to them in regards
to their accounts; such names will be
published and a list furnished to each
. Jmysician who has agreed to the following rules:
1st, to report the names of all persons who have not conformed to all
the rules stated above governing the
payments of accounts;
2nd, not to visit, prescribe for, or
furnish medicine to any such delinquent, until their names are'femoved
from the delinquent list;
3rd, no physician will take charge of
any case another physician has been
treating, unless   the patient has a
receipt showing  that the physician
dismissed has been paid in full.
. Signed,       F. G. Sanford, M D.
T. H. Maynard, M. D.
J. A. Beeder, M. D.
B. A. Gray, M. D.
J. W. DUnlop, M. D.
F. B. Gray, M, JD. Sec'y,
' Dr. B. C. EJhaw,
Bemarks: Since all the physicians
in Clare have been located here, long
enough for the people to be acquainted with them and their work, let the
people engage the one they have the
most confidence in, and then expect
to pay him an honest price for his
work, and you may. be sure that he
will use his best skill to save the patient and to retain your patronage.
The people shduld bear in mind that
no person is infalible, and that there
is no disease that is not sometimes
incurable.

Nenrjy All of Clare Stores Now
G!ose Evenings Except Mondays ami Siuurdays. ,. •
Two years ago Clare's dry guuds and
clothing stores began closing at 6:30
p. m., local time, except Mondays and
Saturdays and they ar,e so well pleased
with the plan that they, wouldn't
think of going back to the old plan.
This week many more of our business
men also adopted it. Nearly all the
grocers have signed an agreement to
this effect. The furniture stores close
as also do those stores dealing in bazaar goods, crockery, etc. The hardware's are also said to be closing.
It is held that business men are entitled to spend their evenings with
their families just as many others are
privileged to do and that necessary
business can be done during the day
time without stringing it along
through the night. At least clerks
are very desirous that the plan shall
be a permanent one in Clare.
