EXCLUSIVELY FOR CASH OR
READY PAY,

and shall make no exceptions to this rule. We have
tried the credit business eTectualv and find It i'm
possible to do Justice to cash customers While
great many customers have paid their bills promptly
when due, others, who have bought their goods
equally low, not being able to meet their bills
promptly have let them from year TO year until
the interest on the money invested was worth moro
than the profits on the goods; and, again, we have
lost considerable every year from lad debts. As
intend in the future to take Of those risks, and
reduce our expenses in other ways, we do bust
for great deal less money and selling for cash,
we will sustain losses, and propose to give
toners the benefit Of these reductions by reducing
the prices Of our goods to the very lowest possible
living figures. In returning thauks to friends
and customers who have patronized in the past
solicit continuance Of their patronage, believing
that make It TO their interest and to the inter-
est of the community generally, to stll give their
patronage for CASH.
