 The customers who trade with us never wear cheap clothing. They buy on cred- it because in this way they can afford to wear the best. If they wanted anything cheaper than what we sell they could spare the cash to pay for it, and would not need credit.
 We would not sell cheap and inferior clothing-1st, because we do not cater for this cheap trade; 2d, because the goods would fail to prove or wear satisfactorily, and, as we would lose our trade, we would have to offer a commission or some other scheme to get them to come back to trade with us again.
 We do not believe ill that kind of a business, as we have an established trade, and we will only sell goods that will give entire Satis- faction-so that our custom CTS will be pleased to come again without any other in- ducement than that they can buy the best Clothing here lower than elsewhere, and on easier weekly payments.
