HARD TIMES BE COMET

uAVING been watching for soines
| III time past the financial pulse of the
country and tile ever, varying events of
the trading world with view to the In
crease or decrease our weekly, purchases,
we are prepared to announce to our num-.
crous patrons that our investigation of
these subjects has been perfectly satisfac-
tory and that we have as consequences
forwarded larger orders than ever be-
fore to our New York agency.
The year 1880 therefore begins with
tlattering prospects for faruers, meehan-
les and all other luborcrS alike. The
financial pulse of the country is steadily
improving and having returned almost
to hard money basis, we shall gradu-
ally but surely recover our former pres
! ti2e and the so long declining prosperity
of our beautiful Southern land. Being
firmly impressed with the fOre-shadow-
'ings oftllose approaching events we have
made arrangements. commensurate with
the demands they will disclose.
Our Agent in New York is nlready;in
receipt of our Instructions directing him
to be Oh the alert for every snle and fail
ure as we'll us every house tottering on
the brink of bankruptcy, 80 that he, with
cash in hand may take In every bargain
and TINS enable lis during the present
year not only to Increase our own re-
sources, but TO become also never
changing source of assistance to our
friends by selling them goods far below
the wholesale market of New York.
1t was the credit system that paralyZctl
orr industries in the past and caused SO
many interests to droop and witlIer while
every article needed for family c0nstImp.
ton doubled in value. Thus while labor
was inadequately compensated, goods of
every description approached almost fab
ulouS prices and the daily sweat OF II
mans brow barely obtained for himself
and family the commOnest necessaries Of
life. TOO much credit will always create
demands greater than the sources OF sup
ply will satisfy, hence everything takes
All upward tendency undcr 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
ago ADOPTED this system and find that II
works splendidIy in al its behring's. Ii
you follow it you will be sure never to
buy what you do not want, and in this
way keep you from the iron clutches of
debt.
We pay cash for all our goods before
they leave the place bought from. Hence
our ability independent of our unrivaled
facilities for buying) to ontstrip and un-
dcrsell all our competitors. The mer-
chant who buys on time, (and who of
them docsn'D not only has to pay the high.
est prices for what they get but also the
additional percentage added OH all credit
sales. Now al this comes out OF the con,
sumner, the man who patrOnizes the time
merchant at home. IL will at once be
perceived that the difference between us
Is vast indeed, and that the buyer OH

market prices. while we, by paying cash,
! get the most extraordinary bargains Mt u
large discount on Wholesale cash pricep,
1t Is therefore quite easy for us to sell
below other merchants and 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 Su1fic" that the larger
portion of the benefits arising from It are
reaped by our friends and patrons, and
by il we have established Il reputation
near and dear to u.s. With honesty. fair
dealing, quick sales and small profits us

demon of high prices and furcud from

lrauding the people.

To purchase goods at prices which were

merchant can dignity and ennoble his
profession or he 0ln sink 1t into iniquity

ccSspools Of deceit. dishonesty, fraud and

can be u blessing or curse to his coulI-
