NEW ARRANGEMENT.

We have come to the determination to sell
goods at cash prices, without putting on any ex-
ira profit offset for bad debts Any per-
son dealing with us on credit, will receive a
pass-book, except when we have a different un-
derstanding, and will expect all accounts to be
settled by payment or note at the end of six
months, and these terms will be rigdly adhered
to. By doing business in this manner, we hope
to sell more goods, and at cheaper rates. To
those who purchase for cash we viii always
make n difference of six per cent, except flour
and bacon, which must always be nett cash,
without credit to any one.
