CO., WILL
ADOPT THE CASH SYSTEM

We have adopted the Cash System
at our store. The laws of our State
protect the person who wants to beat
his grocer, and discriminate against
the merchant. Under this system the
good customers have to pay for the
debts of the bad ones. There are a
number OF people about the country
who beat the grocers, in spite of all
they can do. They put up a plausible
story and get credit and do not pay.
In the long run the good, steady pay
ing customer has to pay for these bad
debts, for they are an expense of the
business. 1t is, therefore fair to all, to
sell only for cash We will do business,
in future on a strict cash basis. We
will be able to sell you groceries at
closer prices, for We Will get pay for
all we sell We appreciate the trade
of all our customers, and are doing this
to protect them as we'll as ourselves
When you get accustomed to the new
system, we know you will like it,
Respectfully,
