STEAL THE NAME!
STEAL THE MANI

Eight years ago we began busines
in Anderson, s. G.. on an origida
principle. Our capital In Trade on-
sisted entirely of an idea. a
If that Idea had been lost, all WoulS
have been lost. That idea was spsa
cash always, aud the most goods fof5
the least money-or better goods foil
the same money.
The idea proved a good one andf
catching in the extreme. 0nr little
store-front was painted red. In ten
days another store was painted red.
We marked at a certain and lcglaa
cent, and in less than a week and
store opened up and advertised
the same thing. We gave our stoS
significant name and in two week
terward one Of u competitors
out a sign bearing the same name
another sign bore a similar name.
adopted Red wrapping paper, and
less than two months two other stonz
were wrapping with red paper:
adopted a certain way Of signing al
name, and from time to time:since 81
notice the same style is used. 0cca
sionally we have heard Of other mem
being called by the name originally
given to the undersigned.
They take our namegand adopt our
plans, but these eventually fall
through. They sometimes 81 their
own weight, as for instance, when
they are paying upsold debts By con.
tracing new ones. By buying old

goods, in order to makeSa low price,
with which to meet our figures on.

the manufacturers forsspot cash and
