THE BUYER,

There Is no one phase of character more
universal than the desire of all classes of So
ciety to secure good bargain. The old sys-
TEN OF trade, in which the dealer asked a
large.advance over the just price, leaving it
to the skill and perseverance of the buver TO
beat the dealer down to 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 "One 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 a customer who feels
that he has paid more for an article than
some OF his acquantances have, or mas
bought an article and finds it does not prove
as recommended. We have demonstrated
by years of experience that the hes, class of
trade prefer lone price" They know that
their money will purchase as 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
garment is not an economical garment to buv
That suit to be of real value to its owner,
has to be made of honest cloth, well cut. a
good fit. and thoroughly made. 1t is posi-
BILE for dealer to sell the poor kind to a Gus
TONER once; it is great mistake on
the part of the customer if he allows
him to do it second time We con-
TESS We cannot trade with the customer who
insists on the poorest goods, as we feel that
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 a 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
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 recommen ded,
and that we were one price" To all
of those who have so kindly spoken good
word for us, we most heartily extend our
thanks and we can assure them that when
they send a friend to US we shall make
special effort to make their letter of recon-
mendstlon good. We desire to state that our
Spring and Summer Stock is now ready. We
offer to the inspection Of the public the larg-
est stock in the city. Our clothing is of our
| own manufacture. cloth is shrunk before it
is cut, and the work we warrant. Customers
virtually secure in our make Of clothing all
of the advantages of garment made to
measure without the extra expense. We ex-
tend a hearty invitation to all to call and ex-
anime our goods.
