KIND READER.-We do not
desire to mislead any one, neither
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 !acts. and If an unbelev-
er, mediate, and if our remarks are
not reasonable in Your mind pass
them by. If you are favorably I'M
pressed, give us a trial. ALLOW US
a 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 m
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 ether wrongfully We can
| not afford to be unjust to our custo-
mers, because injustice is always
sure to meet with it proper desert
Now a few words as to W hat 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 1t 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? II means that
] merit Ill always win, that right
| will conquer wrong, that the Cash
] System, close attention to bushes
i and economy is bound to force to
the wall the internal credit system
with its twin brother, high prices
Our low prices have caused 4 Wal
| Of distress from some of our com
| petitors. We have seen some arti-
| cles drop 25 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 ) to 2:
per cent. Please give us credit TO,
what we deserve, nothing more
| Understand us that we do not claim
to be smarter or better merchant
than many others, but we do CLAIM
that we can afford to sell goods
from 5 to 5 per cent cheaper thar
firms who buy and sell on time
The firm that buys and sells on tim
besides having to pay more 70
their goods, and losing the dis
counts, always loses more or less b,
bad debts, and besides an homes
profit they have to put on an eNtr
profit to cover their losses from tina
source, and you and every homes
paying person has to pay it. Not S
at the Bee Hive. Here you bu
everything at a close, quick prof
and do not have to pay what W
lose by dishonest peoples rascality
