Cash Versus Credit
CAUSE AND EFFECT.

II is usually understood that il per-
sons pay cash for what they buy, they
will always get the lowest prices. And
save money on their purchases that
naturally be the case. We ask the
question Is it always the case? Inves-
tigation and experience prove that 1t
is not always true. There are reasons
for II. One of the most common'is the
cry OF some dealers. That good quail
ity must bring high prices and every
thing sold at less than their prices is
of poorer quality. We answer this old
claim and argument. That depends
who is the dealer and how he conducts
his business. Some people really be-
lieve this story and say that good
goods cost much tmore, etc. All
things being equal it is fact, but we
protest and claim all things are not
equal. Either in buying or selling or
conducting a business, some mems
greed runs away with their best judg-
ment and they say l bought this lot of
goods away down. My shrewdness
and command of experience and cash
should make me every cent | can get
for them. Profits are piled on as
much as the goods will bear and the
customer has to pay the outside price.
Some one says that it is fine stroke
of business. Another dealer buys
lot of goods at a great bargain, away
under regular prices and he figures at
how low price he can sell these
goods and win more customers. II
this price is lowered, does that de-
preciate the quality? You can choose
which store you will patronize,and you
can feel that when you buy from the
IN
quality, the weight and the values at
the lowest prices. We treat you on
this principle. Shrewd, we'll posted
buyers know these facts and profit ac-
cordingly. Do you ever consider who
you are benefitting by your patronage.
Be frank and admit that you yourself
are the principal one that must get the
good of your money. Then why do
you use so little judgment and know
ledge when you pay two, three, four
more times the price for goods than
you would have to pay us for them?
You may doubt this claim. Well, we
can and do prove i. every day on ev-
cry sale, but some people do not care
nor will not investigate our challenge,
that we sell goods of all kinds at low
er prices than any other house, quality
considered.

ster, we stand ready to assist and de- !
liver them from his clutches. We |
have the artillery and the ammunition |
to release all who earnestly desire and |
try to be saved from the ruthless foe !
to our civilization. See the suffering |
it causes, the poverty it makes, the
hard times that are traced to 1t. The
poor, hard working man is ground
down beneath the high prices that are
piled on all he has to buy. The mis-
cry, the suffering and much of the
crime is traced to 1t and still the
great majority of cur people think ii

proves the opposite We are prepared
to help all to lower prices, to make
their money go to the best advantage.
The poor laboring mans $500, $500,
