MISCELLANEOUS.
THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED.

A great many. times during the past two
years, customers have said to me: Clark,
you tciH fail yet. You sell goods too cheap.
HotS do you do III Now. the facts are. it is
very simple and easily explained. In the
first place we are all ,oorkers at 4s2 Congress
street. Our store is open early and late.
2nd-We mark our goods at a small adj
vance. and sell RATS of them, and our patrons
see at once that we dolcn them all on prices
and make their selections much more quick
u than they ordinarily would, SO that our
expense for clerk hire is gerry small.
E3rd-We back up our ddcertisements.ey
If we have to put our hands in our pockets
to do it,
4th-We haven't any extrayagant habits
or high toned ideas. and our habits being
simple and wants telo itdoes not require but
small sum of money for us to live in a com
Portable manner.
5th-We pay spot cash for our goods, and
there is nothing like paying cash for your
goods. Those having goods to sell had rath-
er hare The cash than the promise of a Gould,
Astor or Vanderbilt.
6th-Every person has his hobby, and
| ours Is to build up the largest and liveliest
| clothing business in the State Of Maine, and
| in order to accomplish 1t we will confess we
have sold our goods at ridieuIously small
margin. We are in hopes some day to have
also the finest clothing store in this State
and II we do not get there 1t will not be be
sauSe we have not tried. This is Meyear va
,vant to sell 100000 worth. We would like
some day to do business in this city Of an
even quarter Of million yearly, but we dom
expect to accomplish that. but we do inten'
to bring in on $1,000 business this year 1
we possibly can. Last year our sales wer
over $4,000 In excess Of the year previous
but our net profits were less than the yea
before. and they were small enough the yea
before, but we are bound to bring our bus
ness to the 100000 mark this year ichethe
zoe make a dollar or not.
We have just purchased for spot cas-
thousands and thousandso of dollars worth
goods which we have marked at prices nevs
before known for new, nobby styles {
