That we were never in better con.
dition for cash buying and that the
market is overlooking with bargain.
and this means that the prices on
our new fall goods will be lower than
the present prices. which are exceed
ingly low.
A. II. Olson, manager of the Hub
at Pullman says: This sounds good
to me. We have for our foundation
the solid rocks Of lowest price and
best quality; the dashing waves OF
competition can never shake u.s."
I'VE want to say to the people of
Pullman that we are here to stay,
and will continue to sell the best
| goods that spot cash can buy at
prices so low that it will not nav to
go elsewhere to trade. Our new fall
goods are arriving daily; they are
bought in large quantities for num-
Der of stores This method of cash
buying direct from the factory cuts
off the drummers' and jobbers prof
It's and enables US to sell at prices
that other merchants pay"
When we came to Pullman our
competitors said We would go broke
inside of two weeks; that we could
not stand selling at such low prices.
We want to say right. here that we
do not sell without profit and we
have nothing to give away. We need
profit to do business on, but not
much, as our expenses are low and
fixtures very humble. We do not need
plate glass show cases to keep goods
in-our low prices move them SO
quickly that we leave them out so
that the customers can haudie them
and see just what they are getting.
Many people came to us and said ::
Il did not know you were here. un-
IL heard them speak of you in the
other stores, so thought | would
come up and see what you had" The
others did the talking and we sold the
goods. We have our competitors to
thank for our rapid growth of gus
mess. Had they known that the word
Hub to the people of the Palouse
country had meant better goods
for less" silence would have been the
order of the day
The Hub handles second hand
goods" was the next war cry; this
was meant for knock: nevertheless.
1t Is fact that our goods are in the
second hands-from the factory to
us-while most goods in the stores
are third-handed; they go from the
factory to the jobber, then to the
merchant, making them about 25
per cent higher.
The knocks of our competitors are
| only indications that we are deliver
ing. Get with us, stay with us, grow
with us; it's up to you.
We have talked with the people
who have been sending off for goods
and we did not blame them for this.
when We learned what high prices
they had to pay. After showing them
our goods and prices they promised
us their fall business; we can buy as
cheap as the mail order houses and
sell at just the same small profit.
and people have the advantage of
seeing the goods before buying.
Our store is now overflowing with
new fall goods; those who have. not
visited our store, come in and see
| for yourself and be convinced that
our prices are right and quality best.
You will then know why Mr.. High
Price squealled. We feel thankful
to those who have given us support
and helped us grow and we are now
able to give better bargains than ev-

We knew that Pullman was in need
OF store that would sell good goods
at the right price-that is why we
