The Amount Of goods in our line purchased
by country merchants is usually quite small
compared with their dry goods, hardware, and
other bills,.and this very circumstance ALSO
lutely compels iobbcrs in the book business,
who sell on time to get larger profits in or
der to make up for the losses and extra eX-
ccuscs necessarily involved in a credit bust
ness 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

These considerations have led us to adopt
in Gu: business, from this date, January, 1854,
the following principles, viz. SMALL PROFITS,
USvARYING PRICES AND TERMS ALWAYS CASH.

while American country women almost

that premature old age and early graves
