NEW MANAGEMENT.

HAVING for the past eight years faithfully ' II tried the Credit system in this vicinity, and ound to our sorrow that it is not only ruinous to ourselves, but to our friends. We have therefore come to the conclusion to adopt the system of READY PAY, confident that by so doing we can offer much greater Inducements to our customers than those who sell on Cong credit and In many cases neuer get their pay. Consequently those who to pay are charged Much Higher Prices to make up for others deficiency.
 If you would buy goods in the cheapest possible way PAY. WHEN YOU BUY. Do not be deceived by any statement that Mir. Credit will make; de pend upon it it is false Credit pays much greater price for his goods than Cash and of course must get a greater price, Cash offers us induce mcnts so much greater than credit can that we have adopted his system-Quick Sales and Small Profits.
 We have just returned from New York and other markets with great assortment of Goods in our line bought almost exclusively with CASH, and at prices which defy competition.
 We only ask our friends to examine our stock to be convinced that q Hard Times has snsaked of withovt even a '' kick
