Enclosed herewith you will find the official tax receipt, or receipts, issued in your name for the taxes you have just paid. This is also to acknowledge payment of our $1.00 per year service fee, charged for each description, for which I thank you.
I appreciate your co-operation and trust to justify your confidence by prompt and efficient service in future. Taxes for year 1932 will be due Dec. 1, 1932, at which time we will mail you statements of same. Should you move or change your address in the meantime, be sure to fill out and mail me the enclosed card, which requires no postage, as we must have your correct address in order to keep you informed of any matters of importance which may arise concerning your property here.
It is very important that taxes be paid as soon as possible after they become due to avoid payment of penalties, or the possibility of loss through sale for delinquent taxes. You will be performing a good service for any other owner of property here whom you know, by reminding them that 1931 taxes are now past due, and if they have not received a statement thereof, to write us at once.
