GOING ON CASH
BASIS NOVEMBER

Owing to the steady advance in all
lines of groceries and meats and the
eXorbitant advance in many articles
we wish to do our part toward help
ing our customers save, and buy their
goods as cheaply as possible. In
order to do this we must ask our
customers to assist us, by paying
cash for their goods, thus enabling
US to sell them at quite a per cent
cheaper than we are able to under the
credit system.
There is not a merchant in the city
hut can show large credit m his
ledger that will never 'be collected,
anu when il ne nad not made al
extra profit on his good customers
would have driven him into bankrupt
cy long ago. thus the customer that
is able to pay the cash for his goods
by using the much abused credit sys-
tenn, voluntarily help pay COR the 9th
err fellows living that probably leaves
town between two days.
We propose to change our system
of doing business on Nov. 1st from
an extensive credit system to a strict
ly cash system and giving our Gus
toners the benefit of very material
reduction in prices. We don't want to
lose customer by this change and
feel sure that the party that has
hbeen accustomed to owe a grocery
bill of from S25 to $50 at the end OF
each month will draw a long breath
of thanksgiving that he has lived
through the month without owing a
cent, and a balance , in his pocket
which he had saved on his cash trans.
action. g.. -,
In order to make our reduction as
large as possible we have figured it
on the basis of cash and carry-how-
ever we shall still retain our delivery
system and shall deliver all orders
amounting to one dollar or over, and
on all orders of less than one dollar
we shall charge 5 cents for delivery.
We do this to help pay the sustenance
of the delivery that ultimately it will
educate the trade to bunch their Or
ders and make one order day in
stead of the way it runs at present
of ordering four and five times a
day.
Ely actual and accurate accounting
it costs to make delivery between
5 and 6 cents and we have gone out
and bought an article that cost US
three cents and delivered it to the
residence of our customer charging it
at the same price that we paid for ii
and carrying the article through the
month, thus paying from two to three
cents for delivering the goods.
We don't blame our customers for
giving these orders, it is the mer
chants own fault for educating their
customers to such a system. How Of
ten have we insisted on sending
small packages to our customers when
they were going directly home empty
