Our long experience in the Western Taalc. and
having a correct knowledge of the wants of the
country, enables us TO import such goods as are
adapted to the wants OF The people.
We believe we have facilities in buving which
are not enjoyed by any other Western house, hav-
ing resident partners and BUYERS constantly at the
manufacturers and auctions in the East, and our
agents on the continent. Purchasing our goods for
cash and on short time, we are enabled to buy
much lower than Eastern or Western JobbeIs who
buy on long credit, and we are always able and
prepared 10 take every advantage of change in
the market, favorable 10 cash buyers. which mer-
chants who buy on credit can not enjoy.
We can afford TO sell, for Cash. ten per cent.
less than other houses, because we do not sustain
heavy losses by crcditing cXtravagant and injud-
c.ouS merchants.

large a quantity of goods not adapted 10 his trade
which are sure TO be deprecated and become I'M
saleable, and being long absent from his business

We respectfully suggest these facts 10 the mcr
chants in the West believing it is to their intcres
in every respect to make their purchases in Sain
Louis, and that the system we have established
guaranteeing 20 them cheaper goods and as larg
stocks as can be obtained in any of the Eastern ci
ties. will bring TO us many merchants and trader
who have not before seen that they could saw

Our motto shall be, in fact, LARGE SALES AN,

in the East or West can afford.
