terday morning directly after he
had retired for his daily sleep,
and asked to come down as one
OF the patrons had been swindled
out of some money. The police
could not assist him in any way,

THE COUNTY FAIR

The Quay County Fair held at
Tucumcari last week would have
been a credit to any state in the
union.
And in point OF variety, no To-
cality could show "A wider range
of farm and garden products.
The Quay county fair was the
meeting place for all the farm
products of the temperate zone.
There the cotton of the south
shook hands with the corn of the
north.
The festive cabbage of the
north flirted with the shy and
bashful okra of the south.
And why should not Quay coun-
~ have a good fair:
II is the best agriculture Sec
ton of New Mexico.
On IN recent trip, the finest
stuff we saw was between Tu-
cumcari and Obar.
And we had seen 30 miles of
Rio Grand valley irrigated stuff
at that,
In recent government crops
report. only five stand over 40.
New Mexico is one of the five.
She stood liz almost.
No wonder, then, that the fair
was a great success.
The people of the country
made the stuff and the enter
prising people of Tucumcari did
the rest.

all know that. He has got to skin"
somebody that can't help himself to
do that. We can sell you for cash
S1Q0 worth of goods for $11O, and
make an honest living. We cant
do it for less. If we sell you and
everybody elso on time we will
have to charge you at least $14O
for the same amount of stuff, be-
cause you have got to pay for all
the extra help, all the loss on bad
accounts, and in fact, you will have
to pay all the losses. We have no
other way of getting it, and other
wise we would 60 broke inside of
twelve months.
Now we are going to sell for
cash, and will prove that we can
sell goods cheaper for cash than on
time by cutting, the price. Come
and price our goods and see for
yourself. If you will pay cash for
all you buy this year we will guar
antee that next fall when you 90 to
sell your produce you will feel bet
ter, you will have more money to
spend, and you will think more of
your family, your neiehbor and your
country.
We are here to help build up the
country, and we think this is one
of the best ways yet to do it. Stop
buying on time, and it will not be
more than IL months until you
will not have it to do. Then 60
where you please to buy your stuff.
Buy from the man who will sell
you the best goods for the least
money. You will be q free man
then, and you never will be until
you stop buying on time. You can
eet out of this strain that you have
been in for years if you will quit
buying on time, and buy from the
man that sells for cash and saves
you all that extra expense.
We appreciate the business we
have done with you during the past
year. You will find us at the same
old place, doing business for cash
and at cash price. -r.n '...

Arm Bros. Of Sidney Will Do
Cash Business Only In 1914.

We will sell for cash or not at all
this year. Some say we can't do
it, but we think it best for you and
for us to sell for cash only this
year. AS long as you pay the diff
ference in cash and credit, So long
will you have it to do. Let's see
how much you have to pay to get
a little credit.
First, the merchant that sells on
time has to have 10 per cent for
the use of his money, for he can
loan every cent Of it for that. So
you have it to pay. Next, you have
to pay for the extra bookkeeping,
which will amount to at least 1 per
cent. Next, you have to pay for
riding in the fall Of the year after
bad accounts, which will amount to
at least 2 per cent. Next, you have
to pay at least 2 per cent for extra
help required in selling on time.
Next, you have to pay for all the
extra books, stamps, stationery, ETC.,
which will amount to at least 2 per
cent. Then you have to pay at least
2 per cent for the accounts that we
can't collect. Then you have to
pay for all that we fail to charge,
which will amount to at least 1 per
cent. Then you have to pay at
least 5 per cent for outside extra
help that we have to have in SELL
ing on time, which makes a total of
at least rs per cent. Or in other
words, you have to pay $1.25 for
every dollars worth of goods you
buy on time. While the merchant
does not make all this profit him
self, he has to pay it out to all
these expenses.
We can take one half the money,
sell for cash, make S per cent on
our money, turn it six times a year,
and then make 80 per cent on the
investment, while the other way we
would make but 10 per cent. Some
merchants will tell you they will
sell you goods just as cheap on
time as they will for cash, but they
are either telling you a lie or they
are robbine the poor that cant help
themselves. Any merchant with
sense enough to grease a gimlet
knows he can't sell goods as cheap
