SEcosp.--We have erased the words
"haggling" aud cheating down" from onr
vocabulary. Our orders to our clerks are;
"Mildly, but firmly refuse all offers to cut

price be your guiding star - And the firm
will see to il that the one only price shall
be lower than ever they were sold before
Upon the label attached to every gar
ment. the customer reads the same figures
that the clerk reads. In printed letters he
sees what the garments are made Of, and
the, only price for which it can be ! ad
There need not he q moment wasted in the
hope Of beating down. The honor OF Oak
