The Sensation of the Period
Strange blG True!
HARD TIMES BE GONE!


.H AVING been watching for some
Al time past the tipancia pulse of The
country and the ever varying events OF
he trading world with view to rlle III
crease or decrease our weekly purchases.
we arc prepared to announce to our num
rrous patrons that our Investigation OF
these subjects has been perfectly satisfac-
tory and that we lnrve ms Il consequence
forwarded larger orders than ever be-
fore to our New York agency.
The year 1889 therefore begins with
1lattcring prospects for farIuers. mcchan.
les and all other lab0rerS alike. Th,
financial pulse OF the country is steadily
improving and having rctlrncd almost
to Il hard money basis, we Skall gra1u-
ally bnl surely recover our former pres
ti%c anti the so long declining prosperity
OF our beautiful Southern land. Being
firmly Impressed with the forc-ShaGOw-
ings of ihrse approaching events we have
made arrangements commensurate with
the demands they will disclose.
Our Agent in New York is already in
receipt of our Instructions directing him
10 be on the alert for every sale and fail
ll:c AZ we'll as every house tOttering on
the brink OF bankruptcy. SO that he. with
cash in hand may take in every bargain
and TINS cnabl e us during the present
year not only to Increase our own re-
sources. but TO become also 4 never
changing source Of assistance TO our
friends by selling them goods:fM below
the wholesale market Of New York.
1t was the credit system that paralyzcd
our industries in the past and caused SO
many interests TO droop and witlIcr while
every article needed for family consunp-
ton doubled in value. Thus while labor
was iuadrquateiy compensated. goods of
every description approached almost fab
ulouS prices aud The daily sweat OF q
mans brow barely obtained for himself
and family the cCHlmoncst nccessarics Of
life. Too much credit viii always create
demands greater tllam the sources of sup.
ply will satisfy, hence everything takes
aii upward tendency /, utlcr its operations.
On the other hand cash transactions will
make the supply larger than the demand
and consequently goods fall to bottom
prices when this rule prevails. We long
ego y, opted This system and find that it
works splcnGidiy in all its bearings. II
you follow it you Will be sure never to
buy what YOU do not want, and in this
way keep you from Tie iron clutcllc! of
debt.
We pay cash for all our goods before
they leave the place bought from. Hence
our ability (iudcpcndcnt of our unrivaIcd
facilities tor buying) to Outstrip and uli-
dcrscll all our competitors. The mer-
chant who buys Oh time, (and who OF
them doesn't not only has to pay the high
est prices for what they get but also the
additional percentage added on all credit
sales. Now al this comes out Of the con-
sumner, the D;ln who patronizcs the time
merchant at home. IL will at once be

market prices. while We. by paying cash,
get the most extraordinary bargains ut II
large dscou,t Oh Wholesale cash prices.
1t Is therefore quite easy Tor us to sell
below other merchants ana guarantee
perfect satisfaction in every case.
Our system is one Of our own, and has
many advantages which we shall not cX-
plain, but let it sulc" that the larger
portion Of the benefits arising from it ire
rcaped by our friends and patrons. and
by ii we have cstabIiSlicd II reputation
near and dear to us. With honesty. fair
dealing. quick sales aud small profits as
our watchwords we have conquered the
demon Of high prices and forced from
