The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1888-05-03
East Side Courthouse Square,


do we want to deceive or take adj
vantage in any manner. Please
read carefully what we have to say
from time to time in this column.
Digest the facts, and if an unbellev-
er, mediate, and if our remarks are
not reasonable in your mind pass
them by. If you are favorably i'm
pressed, give us trial. Allow us
chance to prove to your entire
satisfaction that what we preach is
gospel truth. Appeals to your
Judgment and common sense are
the only arguments we use in solic-
iting your trade. 1t is for our IN
terest we deal honestly with you.
Confidence is the very essence Of
the contract between the merchant
and customer, and how can conf
dence exist between buyer and
seller when one of them intends to
treat the other wrongfully. We can
not afford to be unjust to our custo-
mers, because injustice is always
sure to meet with its proper desert.
Now a few words as to what we
are doing. We have been here only
one month, but in that time have
built up a tremendous taade, our
sales running as high as 500 per
day. From the very beginning we
have had larger trade than many
houses of years standing, and it is
conceded by all fair minded persons
that we are having decidedly the
largest trade of any new house that
ever opened here, and what is the
meaning of all this !? 1t means that
merit will always win, that right
will conquer wrong, that the Cash
System, close attention to bushes
and economy is bound to force to
the wall the internal credit system,
with its twin brother, high prices.
Our low prices have caused a wall
OF distress from some of our COM
petitors. We have seen some arti-
cles drop Is cents on the dollar
when it was declared that they were
being sold as low as could be afford
ed before. In many things we have
forced the price down from 5 to Is
per cent. Please give us credit tor
what we deserve, nothing more.
Understand us that we do not claim
to be smarter or better merchants
than many others, but we do claim
that we can afford to sell goods
from s to IS per cent cheaper than
firms who buy and sell on time.
The firm that buys and sells on time
besides having to pay more for
their goods, and losing the dis
counts, always loses more or less by
bad debts, and besides all honest
profit they have to put on an extra
profit to cover their losses from that
source, and you and every honest
paying person has to pay it. Not so
at the Bee Hive. Here you buy
everything at close, quick profit,
and do not have to pay what we
lose by dishonest peoples rascality.
We are just in receipt of big
stock of Farmers Supplies, and are
offering special inducements in that
line. Glance at the following prices
Compare them with what you have
been paying, and then think of the
little fortune you will throw away
in lifetime unless you come direc,
to headquarters. We are offering
