Trash Is Never
Good
ueTC1andise

There has got to be so few people
that will buy trashy, shoddy goods
that it don't pay to handle them.
What's the use of buying low
grade shoddy goods when you can
get good goods that will wear
twice as long for just trifle
more. Take Sc thread, 5@ calico
we don't handle it because we
can sell American & Simpson "a
thread at &C and it will last twice
as long. Same way with shoes.
Save 25c on a pair paper sole
shoes and you are barefooted prob
.bly in 30 days if its fair weather
but pay quarter more and get
solid leather shoe thet will last
6 to IL months. We are not talk
ing high priced goods but we do
want the goods we sell to be worth
what we sell for and we fatter
ourselves that we have as many
satisfied customers as any house
that $. lis as many goods as we do
