A timely reminder
June 14, 2012Dear Sir,Please see how Belco used to handle overdue bills:“Reddy Kilowatt says I worked all these hours for only this much. Please pay!”When the bill was overdue, I got this message on April 2, 1959. This message was on customer bills.“I NEED YOUR HELPDear Boss,What do you do when you when you work for weeks and weeks and your boss doesn’t pay you when its due?It’s not a question of credit …you are pretty sure he is able to pay your wages or you wouldn’t be working for him. It does make it very embarrassing when he doesn’t come through with your pay on time.What I’m really getting at, Boss, is that back pay you owe me!Sincerely,Reddy KilowattFor Bermuda Electric Light CompanyIf you have already paid my wages, please accept our thanks and disregard this reminder.”LONG-TIME CUSTOMERSt George’s
