AN ORR YEAR.

This is political phrase, bnt will hold good
for us in our demonstration. We wish to show
that 1856 has been year entirely of. 1t has
shown us how stubborn it could be, aud do
the weather act" entirely to suit its own de-
sire.
In the spring we came near being washed
out. In the summer we had very cool weather
affecting our sales of summer fabric, and now,
when we should have good, solid, snappy
fall weather, II is warm enough to go without
any extra wraps whatever; SO you can very
easily see that merchants calculations
amount TO nothing-bIg stocks and no move.
The only conclusion that we have come 10 Is
that we might effect extra sales by slashing
the profit from our goods and disposing of them
at mere margin above cost.
We still continue to dwell on wraps, as that
department is surely overstocked, If the
weather continues in this channel.

TO the skill and perseverance of the buver to
beat the dealer down to a just price. is now
done away with in all stores where the dealer
desires to secure the confidence and respect
OF his customers. All persons of Judgment
readily see that the Zone Price Store" is
obliged, from motives of interest at least, to
make the lowest possible price on its goods.
The poorest advertisement dealer can send
out from his store is customer who feels
that he has paid more for an article than
some of his acquaintance have, or has
bought an article and finds it does not prove
as recommended. We have demonstrated
by years of experience that the be st class of
trade prefer lone price" They know that
their money will purchase rs much at our
store as another mans money. be he rich or
poor, We have also demonstrated that our
customers interest is our interest. and that
all endeavors on our part to give them honest
goods that are well made and good fitting are
appreciated.
The public is rapidly learning that a cheap

the part of the customer if he allows
fess we cannot trade with the customer who
insists on the poorest goods, as we feel tina,
we cannot afford to sell that class of goods /;
but we would like to have the man who has
been using that grade of goods call and see
our make of clothing. If he should decide
to try one Of our suits, We know that we
should have him for customer in the future,
as he would decide that ours was the most
economical, and the pleasure he would derive
from having good fitting and comfortable
garment would cost him nothing. He would
also be an extremely good advertiser for us.
In this connection We wish to state that a
great many strangers call at our store and
purchase our goods, stating that they
"have been advised to buy of us, as our
goods were every way as recommended,
and that we were one price" To all

thanks, and we can assure them that when
