Figure 123. Unpaid Slip.

If there are no mutual accounts, a draft is enclosed less the collection charges. Regular printed forms are used for this purpose. An ordinary one is shown in Figure 122 on page 256.

When items are unpaid it is customary to attach a small paster to the item itself similar to the one shown in Figure 123 on page 258. A check mark is made opposite the reason given for the refusal of the item. A simple memorandum is added to a regular letter of advice that such and such items are returned unpaid with reasons as noted.

It is frequently necessary to recall items which have been sent for collection. A simple letter form providing spaces for the name of the item, the amount, when due, where payable and date of letter on which the item was sent, is all that is required.
