"Your asking me how l came to uscit,

man who, on his deathbed, after Il lite
ofmeanness; wanted to make things all
right with the Lord by leaving some
money to the kirk"
"''Nill the Almighty pass me into
Heaven il ! give 10000 pounds to the

Laughing heartily at the story, Rev.
+. L. Osborne, Of No. 27S Ogden avenue,
Jersey City, pastor Of the First Baptist
Church, West Hoboken, continued
"That's what / did with PARKER's Tonic
/ tried the experiment. 1t more than
met my expectations, and l am very
glad to testify to it's excellence. 1t goes
at once to the root Of all digestive and
nervous arrangements so commonamong
men Of my profession. For women and
chronic invalids the Tonic is a perfect
inyigorant, andis destined to supplant
all other remedies for this purpose. A
single dose produces the gentle perspira.
ton and sense OF life which eradiCates
disease. It seems to 'ro1se every organ
into activity. / admire it, too, for it,
power to antagonize the hold Of the liq'

DEAR SIR,

We understand through our Mr..
that you say that you will not
buy any goods from US because Of
Us writing you letter about mon.
~, Which you construed US being
too sharp, and rough. We sell
goods on agreed terms, and We ex.
pect our monty when it is due, or
on the first tripour salesman makes
after II is due. And 10 this there
is one exception, that is-we are
willing to take a note with dis.
count added in, payable in bank
for 30, 60 or 90 days, and this we
expect to be met when due, for if
we use this note it is a double dis.
appointment to have to refund the
money and take ii np when il
comes back unpaid. These are rea.
sonable terms and every man who
attempts to do business should
comply with them. We know you
are good, but that does not meet
the point. If you could be here in
our office and see the promptness
with il which we have to pay our
bills, you would see where the
trouble comes in. We pay ont
from $4,000 to $4,000 per month.
Our capital invested is intended to
bridge over the time given our Gus
toners with ordinary delay. If
our customers hold back three or
four months, you can easily see
how IL would exhaust our capital.
1t forces us to 90 to bank and Dor.
row money, and when we get all
the bank has, and can get no more
we get exasperated, wouldn't you,
and leads us to say as we did to
you. We do not wish to sell men
who incur an obligation and then
forget it-put their money in other
business and run their store on our
capital. If all men did like YOU it
would take the United States
Treasury to run our business-the
interest you pay us on the money
does not get away with this dbl.
Guilty. A retail merchant who does
us you do, and pays no attention to
statements or letters, causes whole.
tale houses TO avoid hin1--or il they
do sell him, make him pay well as
II special investment. We have
taken the trouble TO thus make
plain to you that we do not want
to sell you. We do not however
think YOU are entirely to blame
Sumo travelling statesmen have n
false conception Of business and
try to smooth things ut both ends,
till they get the house and the Gus.
toner at lager heads and lose the
trade of the customer or make him
so undesirable as not to be wanted
by their house.
We are very truly yours, /
