HE UNDERSTANDS THE SIT

store-keeper who goes whining around that
the oranges are running him, who curses the
farmers papers, and stops his advertisements,
thus taking of his own accord the direct
road TO bankruptcy or he who has sense to
recognize that the farmers have found out
the advantage of buying for cash, and sets
himself to meeting their demand aud making
money out Of it2
The farmers are sensible that there must
he middlemen. They have no hostility to
middlemen, either as body or as individu-
ais. What they are hostile to is paying
more for their goods in one place than they
can buy them for in another. They have
found out that under cash system goods /,
may be bought from ten to seventy-ive per
cent cheaper than they have been getting
them. They have also found ont that store
keepers who sell on credit in the old way
cannot, or will not, give proper reduction
to cash customers. Usually they cannot
buy amy cheaper at such stores for cash than
on time. Consequently they have to find
other places to trade. Il may he that they
send their ordersfto the great cities, yet this
is only because the city dealers offer them
greater inducements than they can find near
err home. But that system has many incon.

them good buyers, open the right kind of
stores at points accessible to the direct trade
of the consumer.
Briefly, the grangers do not portend ruin
to middlemen, but on the contrary great sue

to see what is wanting and supply the want.
Do you doubt this. middemen of st Johns
bury, who think the FARMER is your foe and
the farmers your destroyers2 If so, your
heads are not level, and your kingdom will
indeed be taken from you, and given to an
other who understands the signs of the times.
Let us show you such man. We do not
know him, nor does he know us, personally.
But we have by chance got hold Of his cir
cilars, and they show at once that he is the
man for the times,-that he understands the
situation"
The man is j. G. Taylor, and he lives in
Vermont, in the goodly town of Brattleboro.
We are going to give him 6rst-rate notice.
all for nothing, Just because we admire a
man who instinctively knows what is wanted,
when it is wanted, and knows how to supply
the want He Is made of the same material
of which great generals, and other great
men, are made.
This is the way Mr.. j. G. Taylor, " the
man who understands the situation" lays
his programme before the people
Reasons why Goods are sold so much less "a,
THE BOSTON CASH STORE
Than at other places.
1t may seem great mystery to some, how it is that
we can sell FIRST CLASS GOODS at such Low
PRICES.
We would say, in explanation of the above that we
give nVe reasons
/. Our goods are bought and sold STRICTLY FOR
CASH.
2. We buy in large quantities.
D. will be our aim to make sales large
by profits small
4. Our goods purchased Of the manuactui and
Importers saving two three profits to the
5. We willing to work for very small profits, and
give to each one much possible for their money
Mr.. Taylor then says, and we believ,
him, that every family who buys its supplies
on this system will save from fifty to on,
hundred dollars a year. And further, hi
offers to deliver all goods, to the amount o
S25 and upwards, free of charge anywher,
OH railroads within 100 miles of Brattleboro
And he guarantees that all his goods ar,
first class, aud that his prices shall follow
the market DOWN as well as UP,-a thin
