BOOKS AND STATIONERY,
FOR CASH ONLY.
The amount of goods in our line purchased by
country merchants is usually quito small compa-
red with their dry goods, hardware, and other
bills; and this very circumstance absolutely COM
pels jobbcrs in the book business, who sell on
time, to get larger profits in order 10 make up for
the losses and extra expenses necessarily involv-
cd in a credit business of small amounts. II is
also easy for the merchant to make arrangements
to buy his book bill for cash though it might not
be so convenient for him to purchase his larger
bills in this way.
These considerations have led US to adopt in
our business, from this date, January, 1854, the
following principles, viz: small pTetts, unrary-
ing prices, and terms clrdys cash.
Being ourselves tho sole publishers ola mum.
