goods on weekly or monthly
payments. Not the install
ment business that you have
known years ago of paying
double for goods, simply be-
cause you could not pay at
once. Not the instalment
business of unscrupulous
dealers who make you pay
for what some one does not,
but we are in the instalment
business on a strictly cash
basis, giving you good, honest
goods at a fair profit and your
own time to pay for them in.
We claim to sell as low, if not
lower, than so-called strictly
cash houses and can substan-

yourself will back us up in
our assertions. In the first
place we would like to have
your confidence. You can
depend on anything we tell
you about our goods, if not,
bring them back, exchange
them, or get your money
back. That is a fair offer.
If our goods were not up to
the standard in quality and
way down in price we could
not make it. In the first
place we carry a complete line
of everything needful for man,
woman or child. Our Cloth
ing Department is a complete
store in itself. In it you will
find everything in that line
and all of this spring manu-
facture from sthe best houses

handled by us has been bought by
parties residing throughout the sur

every instance have given thorough
satisfaction. To those contemplating
