PURELY CASH SYSTEM,

By selling strictly for Cash we can afford
to dispose Of Goods at a SMALLER PRO
FIT. All credit business is conducted al
considerable loss to the merchant in I'M
collected bills. The saving in account keep
ing in retail business, transacted on a
simple Cash basis, is an item of profit
that will contribute to the cheapening of
Goods, and the long delays of payments
which every country merchant is compelled
to submit to, who does credit business Mt
all, is also heavy loss. All such contin-
gencies have to be covered by the per cent
age on sales, or no merchant can long sur,
vive those multiplied pressures of credit
system. TO avoid those wastes in capital
and the unpleasant duty of dunnlng debtors,
we have determined to SELL STRICTLY
FOR CASH AFTER THIS DATE.
We invite our customers to compare orr
prices under the Cash. with those under the
Credit, system and be convinced that it is to
their, as well rs our advantage to deal for
Cash. BROWN Il BRO.
