The Sensation Of the PeriodI
Strange blut True!
HARD THMES>BEeGoNE!

HARD TIMES BECOME!
-EJ AWING been watching for eomc-
III time. past the financial pulse Of tho
country and the ever varying events Of
the trading world with n view to The in
crease or decrease our weekly purchases,
we are prepared TO annQuncc TO our num-
erOus patrons that our Investigation Of
these subjects has been perfectly satisfac-
tory and that we have as " consequence
forwarded larger ordcrstRan lever be-
fore to our New York agency.
The year 1880 therefore begins with
flatteriDg prospects for farWers, mechan-
les and all other laborers alike. The :
financial pulse of the country Is steadily
improving and having returned almost
to II hard money basis, we shall gradi-
ally but surely recover our former pres
tigc and the so long declining prosperity
of our beautiful Southern land. Being
firmly impressed with the fOre-sliadow-
ings oftlese approaching events we have
made arrangements commensurate with
the demands they will disclose.
Our Agent IN New York is alneady in
receipt Of our Instructions directing him
to be on tile alert,fo every sale and fail
ure us we'll as.eyerY house rpttering on
the brink of bankruptcy, SO that he, witt,
cash III hand may take in every bargain
and thus enable us during the present
year not only to increase our own re-
sources, but to become also 81 nevcr
changing source of assistance to our
the wholesale market of New York.
1t WINS tic credit system that paralyzcd
onr industries inthe past and caused so
many interests to droUp and witlier while
every article needed for family consu,np.
ton doubled in value. Thus while labor
was inaurqllately compensated, goods Of
every description approached almost fab
ulOuS prices and the daily sweat of u
mans brow barely obtained for himself
and family the comnoneSt necessaries Of
life. TOO much credit will always create
demands greater than the sources OF sup
ply will satisfy, hence everything takes
an upward tendency under .its operations.
On the other hand cash transactions will
make the supply larger than the demand
and consequently gOot!s fall to bottom
prices When, this. rule prevails.
We pay cash tor all orr good. before
they leave the place bought from. Hence
our ability Onaependent efonr unrivaled
facilities for buying) to ontstrip and un-
dersell all our competitors. The iner-
chant who buys on tinls, land who .9f
them docsn') not only has to puy the high
est prices for what they get but also the
additional percentage added on all credit
sales. Now all this comes out Of the con-
srmcr, the MAN who patrOnizes the time
merchant ut home. II will ut once be
perceived that the difference between US
is vast indeed, and that the buyer on
credit system cannot purchase goods ct
market prices. willie we, by paying cash,
get the most extraordinary bargains at.a
large discount on wholesale cash prices.
1t is therefore quite easy for It's to sell
below other merchants and guarantee
perfect Satisinction in every case.
Our system is one OF our own, and haa
many advantages which we shall not ex-
plain, but let it suffice that the larger
portion Of the benefits arising from it are
rcapcd by our friends and patrons, and
by 1t we have established Il reputation
near and dear to us. With honesty, fair
dealing, quick sales and small profits as
our watcllwords we lave conquered the
demon OF high prices and forced from
him the acknowledgements that he has
been systematically swindling and de-
irauding the people.
We have demonstrated to thousands
in this aud otlier counties that it is pos
sible when dealing with fair and honor
able merchant who buys strictly for cash,
to purchase goods ut prices which were
current before the war. 70 buy and sell
goods does not necessarily imply that to
be successful one must either be con-
sciencclcss eXtOrtioner or a grasping
ShylOck, as in every other calling the
merchant can dignity and ennoble his
profession or he can sink It iGto inQuity
and trail its courtly garments through
cesspools OF deceit. dishonesty, fraud aud
double distilled Misrepresentation. lie
can be q blessing or Il curse to his conn
try. AS for US we prefer good name
with slow but steady incrense in bust
ness to the souging process which makes
one merchant rich to-day and n thousand
poor farmers pcnpiless and breudless to-
morrow.
Ours is the true plan, by adopting it
