The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1915-11-08


From the StarlGazette, of Sallisaw,A N
Okla, We reproduce the following,
. just to show you that live firm,
Mayo and Co, are doing there TO
hold the trade of that community.
The Star-Gazette carries their ad in
the issue of October 14th and com
pares their prices with those of the
Montgomery Ward ard Co., mail or
der house.
Preliminary to the comparison the
following announcement appears:
III is immaterial to us what mail
order catalogue you bring. Bring II
right along with you to the store and
show us the article you want. II
we have it in stock we win equal or
beat the price. If we have not the
article In stock we will get IL for
you as quick, II not quicker, than
YOU can get ii from them. We are
not asking favors but want your fus-
mess because 1t is profitable to you
vantage OF this offer and leave your
money at home.
1--WE will be perfectly frank in say
ing to begin with, that chis ad is
written for purpose-and that per
pose is to solicit your business-and
we will be frank again in saying .thHt
we will both lose money by your not
trading with us, and both mill mako
money If you do.
~You no doubt noticed that we
turned this store into spot cash
store to all on October 1st, ard BY
so doing we are saving our customers
money because We eliminate any loss
in accounts and save expense of col
lecting, as well as extra help in our
bookkeeping department.
I'VE will meet any legitimate com
petition in these United States, and
that Isl saying lots-but we are full
ly prepared to back this proposition
and stake our reputation as business
men on doing it.
We as a comparison, quote you
prices on a few staple articles that
yea are familiar with, as against
those quoted by Montgomery, Ward
& Co we are sorry that space VII
not permit us to quote you more at

The prices are ma 1e subject to stock
on hand. and in this connection we
wish to say that or stock was .ney-
er more complete in eyery cehart-
ment than 1t is today, we having
anem goods arriving every day..
Sugar-iOur price. 100 lbs. granu
lated sugar, $5.75.
Montgomery Wards circular. page
"a. 100 lbs. granulated sugar, $500.
Freight. csc. Total, $685..
Coffe, flour meat, lard. soap CALI
co. percale. at,ng flannel, mems m-
derwear, ct are each similarly. com-
pared. and i'm each instance the price
set forth by Mayo & Co.. in no case is
in excess. but in nearly every I'm
Stance lower than the Montgomery,
Ward & Co, as set forth in their cat
alogue."
This firm OF Mayo & Co, is awake,
thew have taken the right step. II
other merchants of Sallisaw viii fol-
low in their effort the local pride of
the citizenship viii influence the de-
mard that their money be srent To-
cally-not sent out Of the CITY and
state TO help increase the gigantic
dividends o. the stockholders of the
foreign mail order houses. Hq
And the same principle and policy
pertains and will follow in Pawhuska
and Usage county il the merchants
will profit bv the foregoing illustra-
f'cn.-an object lesson that IS as
plain as the nose on a mans face
Sna witch will mean the keening and
distributing of orr circulating med
fam al home and among ourselves.
