and know when and where and how TO purchase
their Goods. "Guods well bought are half sold.''
Even if they had no advantages over any one IN
their line of business, they can still underSe them,
because they require no large profits to make up for
large expenses They attend to their business Them
selves, and therefore incur but small expenses, come
para,ively speaking, in carrying on The same. Ihey
sell their Goods for Cash, and therefore require no
large profits to Inake up for loss sustained by credit
sales. No one will doubt that the Cash system,
together with small profits, is the best mode OF deal
ing and must advantageous to the purchaser. Ii
