To Our Customers:

~ NOA Na9k0AAA&A2H
In conducting the mercantile bust
ness there are probably a great many
points not usually taken into consid-
Grafton by those not in the business,
and among the most important Of
these is that of whether to do o
credit or cash business.
Our method has always been to
buy in large quantities for spot cash
and to sell the most goods for the
least money, with the very maximum
of good service. How well we have
lived no to that motto we leave to
the judgment of u customers.
There is no one infallible and that we
have made mistakes we admit, but
that our motto was a wise one is at
tested to by the very liberal patron
age we have enjoyed.
We are justly proud of u bust.
ness, proud of our store, and glad
we have had the good fortune in be-
ing located in as good town as Lords
burg. Very few towns are as good
when everything is taken into con
sideration; few towns enjoy the
high class patronage that Lords
burg does, and we contend that no.
where are people more honest and
| reliable than ours; no more worthy
of credit. We have taken that into
consideration and have looked at the
credit feature of our business from
| every angle, and after careful con
| sideration we have come to the con
clusion that in justice to u patrons,
and ourselves, we should do a strict
ly 30-day business, which is equiva-
lent to cash.
In making this change we are not
questioning the honesty or ability to
pay of our patrons. but do it to en-
| able us to meet any legitimate com
petition, and to allow US to save our
customers the difference between the
price of goods sold for cash and those
sold for credit. Therefore, on and
after June LIST this store will sell
strictly on a 30-day basis, that is,
goods purchased during the month
will be due and payable on or before
the 10th of the month following. No
~favorites will be played; we will en-
deayor to treat all exactly alike, and
to sell you goods for less money than
heretofore, whenever that may be
possible.
In conclusion, we wish to thank you
for the time spent in reading his
and to express u heartiest appreci-
alton of your past, and we hope
future, patronage.
Hoping to have the pleasure Of a
visit from you, and again thanking
you, we are,
Yours truly,

TO OUR CUSTOMERS

Elsewhere in this issue of the
Liberal we are giving notice of
the discontinuance of long term
accounts. We deem it necessary
to take this step on account of
the high cost of all merchandise
at the present time and of the
fact that numerous persons have
taken advantage of the privilege
allowed which sometimes causes
us the loss of large accounts.
In this new arrangement we
hope to give you better service
and by it can afford to sell our
goods at a smaller margin of
profit.
