Price Buyers Versus Quality Buyers

IIICS iii CTS VERSUS Tu'lLtl bus'lH o.
There are two classes of buyers,
price buyers and quality buyers.
Price buyers search newspaper adver-
tisements and the various catalogues
to ascertain the very cheapest goods
that can be bought, with scarcely more
regard to quality than they would eX-
ercise in ordering ton of coal.
Quality buyers are those who kno"
that it does not pay 10 hazard months
of valuable time and labor to spend
their money for worthless goods.
Economy is wealth but the homely
adage of "saving at the spigot and
wasting at the bung-hole," applies to
no one so forcibly as to the buyer who
seeks to save the slight difference be
tween Tie cost Of reliable and unreiia-
bic goods.
Who has built up our city :?
You will admit that it is through our
business enterprises Then, if you
have dollar to spend, spend it with
your old reliable merchants that have
struggled to build mp their places Of
business; that scatter their money
throughout our city for the building
up of the same You hear the cry of
hard times. You that spend your
money for the building up Of other
cities, cannot expect any other than
the down fall Of your own city Yet

that merchants fail Ynu take per

contracts a bill OF ten TO twenty dol
lars, and then leaves that merchant to
go and deal with another merchant.
what show has the first merchant got:
None whatever Fellow man, if yon
owe your merchant, stay with him;
and If you have a dollar to spend,
spend it with him; aud then as you
prosper, pay him five or ten dollars, as
Providence has blessed you; and that
merchant will carry you through adj
versity until you reach prosperity; but,
then don't 90 to some other place of
business and pay your cash when the
merchant that trusted you ought 70
have the same. spend not your
money for that which is not bread.
If you spend your money that you
have made with the merchant that has
trusted YOU, ne can then even up and
save himself. Our merchants that
have had heavy losses are the ones
now to receive the gain and profit.
On the other hand, you are all &C
