The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1878-11-14

Not rich enough to give our goods
away. Did not 70 into business for
that purpose, can't give you 81 for
.75c. Business is not based on such
principles; any man, woman or child
that has ordinary intelligence knows
that merchants do not buy goods to
give away-unless it is to induce you
into something else that they can
make it back. We can't afford to pay
the Editor to advertise goods to give
away. But we do sell goods as cheap,
and a great many people tell US cheap
er than any other house in the city,
and We appreciate, such customers, and
guarantee to continue to give them
and ali others who may give us a
call, good solid bargains and such as
may be relied on. We propose to do
a legitimate business and can afford
to compete with any alket in West
Tennessee.
Our stock is complete, which in
quality, fine selection, choice styles
and low prices surpasses all previous
efforts; all that time, pains and money
could do, has been done to make our
stock the most attractive, complete
and the cheapest in the city.
We are not making any big blow
about selling our calicoes at &c, and
best spool threa DC, pins and needles
&c; you can buy Thorn anyv here at
those prices, but, we will give you
bargains in everything, and every
thing sold on its own merit and at
prices our friends can compare with
anybody.
Remember one thing, business can't
60 On without expenses. We do not get
taxes, house rents, freigbts and clerks
for nothing; all these items, with our
living included. have to come out of
the goods, and hence you will not be
surprised when we tell you we don't
give goods away.
A word to the ladies. We, too, like
them, and have bought great mary
goods suited to their wants, and ut
prices suited to them. We give you
