WTE have concluded, that as for the last
w month we have refused every thing IN
the shape of money except specie, or the notes
of specie paying banks, for our goods, our
friends and customers are entitled to some ex-
planation for such an unusual proceeding
While our Books are on cur shelves we feel
safe so far-as concerns the payment of the
debts which we incurred IN tie purchase of
these Books, for this reason, that they may be
returned to our creditors at any time, and cred
it received for them: if we exchange them for
paper which is only worth half its nominal val
ue, we loose by the trade, although we may re-
ceive 100 per cent. more than the original
cost, for we are then minus the expense and
interest on the amount of said property; be-
sides, not having the wherewith 30 pay for our
" bread and butter" which, contrary to the
opinions of some, we hold TO be indispensable.
To the oft repeated question, "why do you not
take the currency at its discount % we an
swer that we do not keep sharing shop.
We pledge ourselves coEscientiously to re-
duce our prices to a consistent scale with the
value of the money received, which will con-
tinue. to be par funds in all cases. In setting
accounts we shall endeavor to make the pro-
per discount On all articles which may have
been overcharged on the score of deprecated
currency. So mote Il be.
