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
have no money? Do you advise that
| do not pay what 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 is within your pow
er. We have helped others and will
help you. There are ways to save 1t.

you? One of the quick ways to get rid
OF your money without full value. and

selves. We know it is hard to have
these things brought home to us, our
own shortcomings. If you would look

an expensive luxury. however. They
pay 25, 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
