FAREWELL
High Prices a Thing of the
 Past

The days of high price are a thing of che past ] am today selling three times as many goods at one-half tie profit, and making three times as much money as in early days, when every thing was high. Large sales and small profit always keeps your stock new, fresh and clean No dead stock, no old shopkeepers; everything desirable and up to date. 1t is not the good salesman that makes the success of a business; it is the good buyer. There are many men in all branches of business that are not posted on prices; they don't know where or how to buy. Those men must necessarily get bigger prices for their goods than a close buyer. If you are in the market for a diamond or a watch, ] can convince you that my statement is true. Twill keep the ball rolling and not overlook any offers on goous that comes anywhere near cost mark. kEELAR, The Jeweler.
