HISTORY OF FO0R YEARS.
(coNr1NUED.)

We've already told you how We be,
gan business without friends and al
most without capital. Capital we
wanted. Friends we must have. We
made them by fair treatment Of all we
met. We resolved never to mist7eat,
neuer to swindle, never to misrepre-
sent, never to be impolite. Als0ays
to buy for Cash. AlaOays to sci! for
Cash. Ahuays to underbuy. Alsuays
to undersell. Spot Cash from the
word go. We are determined to stick
to the end. Our plan has proven
a good one. Our friends number in
the thousands. Our customers are
spread from Walhalla to Mccormick,
from Greenville to beyond the muddy
waters of the great Savannah. Our
house is full to overhowing. Our Bank
account shows balance to our credit.
Not few have been forced to cut
prices in order to meet our matchless
figures. Some have had to sell at less
than cost because they paid too high
for their stuff.
Is not this result something to be
proud of? Yes, and we are proud of
it, too. We are proud of what we
have done for our customers, and we
appreciate what they have done for us.
But shall we stop at this, fold our
hands and be contented? No, never.
We must go on and on. We shall
continue to make prices and values
that will make competition scringe.
Our stock is larger than ever, and we
shall make our prices lower than ever.
1t requires close figuring to do bust
ness on a margin Of 10 per cent, but
we can dc it if any one can. See our
new schedule Of prices, and you'll be-
lieve what we say, We are not the
man to ask you 25c, for an article we
can sell at zoe. We don't want 10c.
when we can afford two for 15c. We
never charge 74o. when Sc. allows
profit. You know the reason. We
don't want what is not ours. They
tell you this is leader and that is q
leader, and no one can beat it, but
what is the profit to you when tley
make it up on something else? Why
don't they come square to the front
and make prices in keeping with the
times on everything. Why don't they
mark 'em in plain figures like we do?
Why do they use thousand figures
and cross marks that you don't under
stand2 Here it is: You pay one
price and your neighbor another.
We mark our goods in plain figures
at prices that do the poor good and
make the rich happy.
Right here let me tell you how pref
ty a soc, price looks on a 3-gallon
filtered, clay-black, glazed Churn; 15c.
mark on same kind 1-gallon jug; 25c.
on 2-gallon Jars. How does 2ac. look
on a regular large Tsunk-no toy.
DC. for the biggest cake of pure Laun-
dry Soap, 15c. for a regular 1-gallon
Coffee Pot, lac. for a 1-gallon Oil
Can, 13c. for Oil to fill it. A white
Cedar Bucket, three brass hoops, Zoe.
How does that strike you? Twelve
boxes Matches for &C., five balls Of
Thread for &C., six spools Coats best
6.cord Spool Thread for 25c., or
dozen for 45c. The best Sewing Silk
in the world (either Corticelli or Bel
dings) at SC. per spool. Embroidery
Silk for the millions, Embroidery Co..
ton, Turkey Red. Shirts 20c. each.
Black Pepper at Zoe. per pound. A
half-gallon Glass Pitcher for zoe.
Best Oil Cloth made zoe. per yard
cheaper goods at 10c. Umbrellas at
3Oc. each. Straw Hats at figures that
frighten competitors out of their wits.
We are now trying our hand on a
small line of Dry Goods, which we
offer at &c. to 2lc. per yard less than
competitors ask for same. We just
want to introduce the line and heas
competition howl. Call and inspect
this line-it will do you good.
Yours always truly,
