Cash Versus Credit,
Or how you can Save Money.

In our former articles we have dwelt
On the value OF money down, and the
iesirability of having cash. The great
question with so many people, is, how
10 get the cash and how to keep it af-
ter getting it. One says have SO
many needs that my money will not
purchase all want or must have. In
answer to this one we would suggest
that you patronize the Bargain Store
and make your money go to the furth-
est limit possible. We are at your
service to help you. Another one and
by far the great majority have their
money spent before they get 1t. This
is the class that needs the most urgent
help. How can | buy for cash when l
have no money? Do you advise that
/ do not pay what 1 owe? No, indeed,
my FRIEND we want to put you in the
way to pay your honest debts and to
get out of debt and stay out. Are you
willing to try? 1t IL within your pow
er We have helped others and will
help you. There are ways to save it.
Some people find them and why not
you? One of the quick ways to get rid
of your money without full value, and
many take this method to sqaunder
their wealth, viz: Get a book credit
at some store or stores and when you
or any of the family want anything,
send the book land as often forget the
book as passport that you can get
goods without paying for them today,
but at what a ruinous profit when you
settle; two, three, four and five times
the prices you would pay at the bar
gain store. Prove us; bring your book
and goods, compare quality, weight,
measure and prices and your own con-
vlction will be speedy. Is it any won
der you are behind and getting worse
all the time? You may blame trusts,
combinations, money power and what
not, but can find the fault in your own
selves. We know it is hard to have
these things brought home to us, our
own shortcomings. If you would look
to how you spent your money ever so
little and make ii go so much farther,
would it not help you? Your little
girl wants a slate pencil. Charged on
the book one cent for it. We would
give you five for one cent. You want
some envelopes and letter paper.
Charged on the book one cent for an
envelope and one cent for a sheet of
paper. We give you 25 envelopes for
3. 4 or sc, and u, IS or "a sheets of let
ter paper for sc, according to quality.
You want lead pencil, bottle of ink;
the book charges to &c for pencil, sc
for ink; we give you pencils 1c each,
ink to &c per bottle.
You can count your savings or gains
right along. You have five dollars to
spend. Come to us and We will make
it buy as much as ST. ss, 50 or $40 will
elsewhere. 1t depends on the kind OF
goods. We have 26 departments.
Nearly everything a family needs.
You want to save money. We help
you to get a~start and then you will
find out the bargains when you pay
cash for them. Another class that are
pretty we'll to do waste a great many
dollars in having their purchases
ment to their standing to get goods
without paying down for them. Ii is
an expensive luxury, however. They
pay %, so to 100 per cent mere for
their goods than the Bargain Store
charges. "Oh, no, we don't" says Mr..
Credit Storekeeper I'VE consider Mr..
well-to-do just as coed as cash, and
don't charge him any more if we
charge it or he pays cash" No doubt
that is true, but then Mr.. Credit Store
keeper has big profit on his goods,
and who pays for the losses made on
credit selling? Come to the Bargain
Store, where you can always get goods
at the lowest prices and do not have to
pay for some delinquent debtors. New,
