Have You
An Account?

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
offense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
90 long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's poor way to do if you
want to leave your children III
affiuent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
so frequently and SO car efully
watched that it is at all times
fresh. Our stock in trade con-

cacies from every civilized ma
