<br />Relief administration te these merchants to extend credi~ to relief oliente.
<br /> Therefore, I fail to see how the Virginia Emergency Relief Administration is in
<br />any way obligated~fo~the payment of these accounts. Furthermore these merchants are familiar
<br />with our form of purchase order and should have known that unless the clien~ presented a p~-
<br />chase order, any credit extended the client was their responsibility.
