This store is a cash store.
1t has the buying machinery
of the Kansas City store,
with all its great prestige in
cash buying, at its disposal.
Thirty trained buyers in the
Kansas City store, assisted
by the buyers who have
helped to build the Kemper
& Paxton business, are using
cash in buying the great
values for this Topeka store.
The vast quantities that can
be handled by this big store
and the great Kansas City
store combined make low
prices as easy as anything
can be. Then when we place
our close cash prices on
these goods, no risk of loss,
no expensive bookkeeping,
no stock of merchandise on
the credit books and another
in the shelves-we say when
we put our close cash sell
ing price on these close
bought goods, we've got bar
gains no store in this west
ern country can match.
We bought from the fac
tory, for instance, several
car loads of steel ranges.
The same quality of range
is selling in Topeka, we are
told, at $40. We're selling
them at 1885 each. By our
great quantity cash buying
and great quantity cash selling we
save you $2O.05 on each range
If anyone ever seeks to create a
doubt in your mind as to the integrity
and truthfulness of our statements or
methods, kindly repeat to yourself
our guarantee which goes with each
transaction. 1t says. Satisfaction or

following advertisement In a morning
paper:
boy Wanted-$4 week; SO to the
right one"
A group Of two or three dozen appIl-
cants awaited the merchant the next
day In his office. One at a time they
were admitted, and to each in turn the
merchant said:
Take this book and read on without
pause or break until l tell you to
stop"
The boy would take the volume and
begin to read. The merchant after
moment would rise with a sharp ex.
clamatlon and drop a heavy paper
weight on the floor. This usually would
excite the curiosity Of the reader, who
would pause and raise his eyes from
the text to see what was going on
But II he refralned from doing this the
merchant would put him to another
test by taking puppy dog from a
closet aud beginning to romp with 1t.
All the boys but one fell before the
test OF the puppy dog. They stopped
reading, they looked on at the romp
with smiles, and some Of them even
went so far as to say:
