AN EXPLANATION.

They say its strange we can sell
goods so much cheaper than other
houses, but it's just this: We sell
for cash only. We do away with
book-kepper and collector; this ex-
pense, coupled with others, deduc-
ted from the profit you have been
paying. Study this matter well;
give it your careful! attention; rea-
son to yourself and see if goods can
be bought as cheap on one, two or
three months time as they can for
cash. Common sense will tell you
that 10 all business transactions
that it's cash down, that rules the
price on all things. Yours truly,
BODENHEIMER BROS,
The One Price Spot Cash House,
Shreveport La.
