CASH
TALKS

/ ALNo
Is an old saying, but it is a
true one. AT least we found
last week that our cash
prices made lots of business
for us. When a person has
an opportunity to buy some
thing good at close prices for
cash he should not pass it
by. We are going to make
you some prices this week,
good only for Saturday and
Monday, that should move
a lot of goods, and a line of
goods that you always pay
other dealers a long price
for.

nant over the reports which have been

that DR.. Mead declined to shake hands
with Mr., Stesrns after the convention.

the Mead men in regard to the matter
are true.

for the expressions therein. There is

that there was no bitterness, or mud

both had so many friends who stood
SO Loyalty by us. was very much
surprised, and very sorry to see in the
papers the false account in regard to
your refusal to shake hands with me,

foundation for it in fact. With kind
regards, am,
Most sincerely yours,
G. H. STEARNS.
DR., Mead stated that he never once
saw Mr.. Stearns after the convention.
The Mead leaders here believe that
