AN OPEN LETTER.

Langdon, N. D., Dec. S, 1907.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:- -
Successful merchandising lies
not in frantic attempts to undersell
your competitors, but rather in out
valuing them. GOOD GOODS NEVER WENT
A BEGGING FOR PURCHASERS. We are firm
believers in Quality, zealously guarding
the high standard Of our goods by buy
ing only the Best Of everything, buying
only what we can pay Cash for, thus TAX
ing every discount possible, viii CHI in
itself is a nice profit. Taking into
confederation the fact that our goods
are all the highest grade and that here
tofore they have been sold for even less
than others get for inferior grades, you
can readily understand that a lO% cut
in our prices means more, much more than
25 or 5O% on theirs. We have no old
goods to make a big cut on and use as
Leaders or bait, as it we're, so we can't
holler so loud, but starting on Friday,
December 9Th, you can deduct lO% on
every purchase. Figure it yourself.
Yours for Economy,
