TO THE PUBLIC.

ME- have felt for long time thai The
w present way Of doing business is
very unjust to those who pay their Bills. as
they are charged an additional profit To
meet the losses incurred BY those who
never pay, aud in order to remedy this
great evil and to hcnefl both buyer and
seller, We have decided that on and after
APRIL LIST, Is72,
we will keep no Books, aud sell strictly for
the CASH, thereby giving To every one me
inii value Tor their money, and saving them
from to 10 per cent
We return or thanks for past favors.
and hope all will examine our New system.
as we feel cor fdcut that it will meet the
appro6' ton Of all close buyers who expec,
to pay for what they purchase, please
Remember. We keep 40 Books"
Very Respectfully.
