WHY
IS
IT.?

That some people are we'll to do, bet
ter to do, well off, rich and wealthy?
These are the expressions used to des-
ignate the financial condition. We
hear the answer every day, usually
from the classes that have the least
wealth They call 1t luck. They
mean by that expression that people
who get ahead and have money and
property get it without much effort on
Lheir part, but as the children say, it
Just comes No doubt but in some
few instances fortune comes to some
people in that way, but If we could
know all the causes and reasons OF
these few cases we might change our
minds, even as to them; but we make
our own luck Examples. Two
families having the same income, one
is prosperous and happy; the other
cannot make both ends meet, getting
poorer every year Where does the
luck come in. Is it luck to be econo-
mical, thrifty, make your dollar go as
far as an intelligent buyer can by get
ting on a cash basis, and having some
money ahead, and when bargain is
offered and you can save large per
cent, take it? Some one says my tub
Is bottom up when it rains. What
we are trying to teach is to be prepar-
ed for saving money and have your
tub right side up But, a housekeeper
says, how can l get ahead when my
income won't now pay for my needs,
and / skimp and save to the utmost.
There is something wrong with
housekeeper; she doesn't buy right;
she buys on credit; she has book;
she sends that book much oftener than
she should, and she don't know che
value OF the goods she buys; she has
to help pay for all the bad debts and
losses OF the house she deals with, and
being slow to pay herself, the house
puts up the price on all that goes on
the book; or, perhaps, she don't even
have book, but the whole family
Duys anything and everything they
want on credit; is it any wonder
housekeeper Is getting behind?
We are here to help those who want
to help themselves, who have desire
to better their condition. 1t is isn't
hard; it is pleasure When you get
the start it grows on you. You feel
like new being, instead OF despon-
ency, worry, care and want, you feel
the thrills Of emotion to get on, to
have something ahead, to save, but
you will get more, live better and hap
pier. Isn't it worth an effort? Try,
and If at first you don't succeed, try
again, 1t will come. Our buyers, our
capital, our experience, our manage
ment are using every effort to save
You money, to get goods at prices that
you can buy and make large saving.
