The Mystery Explained,

In buying our Dry Goods from the whole
sale merchants We pay cash for them and ask
no tavors. The wholesale merchants know
they must sell at rock bottom prices 10 oe,
our trade. We could buy our DIV goods ON
six months credit .same as other nerch,ntsl
but we want no credit. We pay cash and gei
a discount of 5 per cent on every dollar In
twelve months this discount Of per cent
amounts to several thousand dollars. Onr
cash customers are also entitled to discount
Tor their cash. The money we save by dis
counting our bills is invested in valuable
presents for our cash customers Now sup.
pose we bought our dry gods on months
credit what would be the consequence. We
would pay high prices for our goods. we
would get no discounts, and we would have
no valuable esents for our cash customers
