One Price Marked in
Plain Figures.
WHATIT MEANS.

w IL L SlEA-NC'
The merchant who has but one price for
his goods and marks that price in plain flg-
ures on the article he offers for sale, so that
his customers and the public can see them
evidently means to say to the people, look
at our goods and prices, they speak for
themselves and invite your patronage, all
tricks of trade are laid aside and business
on the fair, square principles are intro
duced by at once setting before the GUS
toner the best articles 1T the lowest prices.
1T MEANS that We are courting the
custom Of the most experienced buyers as
we'll as giving an assurance to the lneXpe-
rienced that they are buying their goods
as cheap as the sharpest buyer.
ITMEANS that We are showing quality
and prices to every one as against all COM
petition, that we are always selling as
cheap as the cheapest and that none shall
undersell us.
II MEANS that we are not playing with
customers at the game Of asking one price
and selling at another, charging one Gus
toner more than another, and taking all
we cali get from the customer for an az
ticle. In other words we never charge
penny more to any customer than we can
10 sell Tie dEllClc at.
IT MEANS, a confidence in our ability
to manufacture and buy goods at such
prices as will enable us to mark them at
selling price that at once assures the buy
er that they are as cheap or cheaper than
he can find them elsewhere. This is SIM
plv fair, square business and not inde-
pendence, as some people suppose, because
we refuse to "knock Off something when
they buy The fact is this plan means the
knocking off when the goods are marked.
1T MEANS, q common sense, straight
forward honest plan of doing business.
While in a measure novel to the citizens
OF this locality, we have for the past 10
wears strictly adhered to il in our whole
sale glove departments, coming in COM
petition with the glove products OF the
world sold on every sort OF plan. we
have not only sold the same parties year
after year, but we are selling the largest
retailers in the United States and received
and filled during the past years the
largest orders ever given by any retail
house in the United States with demand
for our work far beyond our facilities to
produce. Outside of the common sense
view of this plan the practical and satis-
factory working of it in our wholesale
departments induced us some is months
since to apply it to our retail department.
The result has been most satisfactory in
every particular, a largely increased busi-
ness, pleased our customers, made us feel
better. eat better, sleep better and enjoy
life better, conscious at the close of each
days business that we had dealt fairly
with every patron and that every penny
in our till was honestly ours. On this
plan we invite the attention of the expe-
rienced as well as the attention of those
not fully posted to our retail store as the
place tG secure the best goods at the low
pSt DrIces
