A Few AxiOmS by the Fence
Corner PHILOSOPHER.

When you see trader advertis-
ing that he can sell goods at less
price than his competitors because
he has small expenses, the question
naturally arises, what do his small
expenses mean?
His small expenses mean:
First-Small stock.
Second-Few clerks, or none.
Third-Small business.
Consequently he buys his goods
in small lots and pays large profits
on them, and his customers have
got to pay profit on the large
profit he has already paid.
A one-horse power engine will
not do the work of a twenty-horse
power engine, while it takes more
fuel to run the larger engine than
it does the smaller, the proportion
ate expense is much less. The day
of small business and large profits
is past. The large business, large
stock and small profits are what the
public demands.-IHe Fence Cor
ner Philosopher.
That is what we believe in, and
we are prepared to give the public
the benefit we derive in buying our
goods from first hands in large
quantities. The public can rely on
always finding good article at a
low price at our store. We believe
that we cannot afford to sell poor
article at any price. We also wish
to say that we have an unusually
choice stock of seasonable goods in
all departments, which we are pre-
pared to sell at a small profit.
