do it.
In the Ii, st place, We buy all the
goods that we haudle in large quan.
titles, from the manufacturers, and
what goods we buy from the iobber,
We buy in large quantities and pay
spot cash, thereby getting them very
cheap, We then discount every dol,
lars worth we buy taking the amount
We save by our mode Of buying, and
the discounts we get by paying cash
makes our profit. This Is why we
can sell to our customers at whole
sale prices, our profit all comes off
the manufacturer and iobber, and
none off our customers. This is why
you have been told so many times,
by other groceryman, that we are
selling goods at cost, and we have
no doubt, when they meet our prices
they sell at cost to do it, but one thing
remember, when they are offering
half dozen articles low to meet our
price, there are one thousand ether
things we sell they do not meet.
Everything in our store is sold on
the same ratio. We now have the
