WHY
IS
IT23>

A continuation of our articles on the
reason why some people are poor and
have a hard time, and how they can
save money and become better off.
The easiest money made Is in buying.
We know of "a class of people, and they
are many, who when they are asked a
price for anything will make and Of
fer much lower than the price asked
and think by so doing they are saving
money. They don't know the value of
the goods they propose buying.
Whether the price they offer is more
or less than they are worth. To offset
4. this class Is a class of tradesmen who
q always ask two or three times more
than value for their wares, and II they
only get half or one-third asked, make
a good profit. Now these classes of
tradesmen and people are well match
ed, Dut 1t does great injury to large
class of people who are just the reverse
Those that want a bargain but will not
chaff and jew to get It, but wish the
price named to be the lowest price that
will buy the goods and will be a bar
gain. The best way to find out how to
get a bargain lis to know the value of
the goods wanted and their lowest
market price, but as most people do
not have the facilities for such infor-
nation, the next best thing is to find
out the reliable stores-stores that sell
tne class of goods they advertise, and
at he prices named, (but BEWARE of
the stores that are just out of the bar
gains they advertise as 1t Is a scheme
to get customers in and sell them
something else), as the reliable stores
don't advertise goods at prices they do
not intend to sell at, but on the con-
trary, have the goods at the prices, ex-
cept in some cases the demand is
greater than they anticipate, but soon
inform their customers of this fact,
and either offer a better bargain or
something equally as good. We know
1t is hard for every one to know all
the things necessary to outwit the
sharper, who takes advantage of the
lack OF knowledge to increase his
gains, but ordinary observation and
study will post anyone so they can
know bargain when offered.
We try to fill the above indications
for a reliable Bargain Store, to give
the greatest values the market affords,
give just what we advertise and adver-
tise just what we have. When we
say we are selling an article at so
cents on the dollar, we mean that to
be half the regular prices for the goods
named. p.
We have Mems and Boys Fur Hats
going at so, 75c, $1.0O and $1.25, our
prices. The regular prices are $1OO,
$780, $500 and $3.50 for the same
goods elsewhere. We have the goods
TO prove 1t. When we say that we are

les at away down prices, we mean that
no house in the city matches our
