was worshipped by that name in a
particular temple after the invasion of
the Gauls-the reason assigned for
this strange fact in antiquity having

To Our Friends and Patrons:

After careful consideration W. have decided to discontinue the credit
system as a part of Our business and Will hereafter cOnduct ouf pu>iHeo>

We have been induced tt take this step by the fact that the 'charg-
ing' of goods demands more time and expense in the way or nookkeep
ing, collecting, ETC.. than W e feel justified in devOting ITO that feature @
our business.
On the CASH basis it is possible to carry on a business at less
trouble and expense, and it S our purpose to give our customers ne zen
eft of this saving in as many ways a IS possible.
We trust that this change in the plan of our business will not seriously
Inconvenience any of our customers. and We do not believe that 1T Will, a $
it only means PAYING AS YOU GO instead of paying bills at intervals,
and W e are convinced that the change will work to the advantage OF
everybody concerned in the end.
We take this opportunity of expressing appreciation of the very
liberal patronage W have always enjoyed in the past at the hands of our
friends and the public, and we shall strive to deserve a continuance of
this good will and support in the future.
