NORDHAUS STORES GO ON
CASH ONLY BASIS JULY

Taking into consideration the pres
cnt unsatisfactory financial condition
and in line with the general contrac-
ton Of credits, Frank l.. NOrdhaus
manager Of the II. n. Nordhaus and
Sons Co, has decided to place his large
and flourishing establishment on n
strictly cash basis. lie states that he
can thereby sell merchandise from 10
TO 30 per cent cheaper than IL has ever
before sold for in Deming.
Following Is letter he Is sending
out to his patrons:
Beginning July 1St. 1921. and from
this date ON, we will sell our merChau-
disc for CASH ONLY.
Naturally, you. ask, why?
Here is our rcason-PLAIN SIM
PIE FACTS.
our firm has been in the retail bust
ness In Deming for thirty-fOur years
and is probably the oldest firm in this
section that still remains in complete
control and charge Of the direct dcs-
continue in this manner
During this period, our business has
been based ON 65 per cent cash and -
per cent credit In the past eighteen
months this condition has practically
been reversed and we brought face To
face with the fact that WE HAVE
NOT THE NECESSARY CAPITAL to
continue IN this manner.
We are also confronted by the gene
raj conditions of the country. which
tells us. WE MUST BE OUR OWN
BANKERS IIENCEFORTH.
All our ready capital is tied up in
past due accounts. We are obliged to
pay cash for some Of the goods we buy
and all others must be- paid for within
thirty to sixty days, so we must prac-
tically pay cash for what we get.
We cannot procure loans from the
banks. 81 without any choice I'm the
matter, we are being forced To n cash
basis.
Necessity Is the mother Of inven-
tion," and during the past months of
depression and REIMBURSEMENT n care
ful analysis Of our business has firmly
convinced us that the present method
Of merchandising Is all. wrong-that
the only way we can treat all custo-
merS fair and equal is 10 sell our goods
for CASH and CASH ONLY.
BY this method we will he able to
dispense with the high cost Of credit,
and this will enable us to sell goods at
n considerable saving to our customers
Of 10 to 20 per cent AN item, we con
slider which will be worth your earnest
consideration.
We trust you will understand this Is
for our mutual benefit and that our
business relations will he even more
pleasant than In the past.
Again thanking you and soliciting
your cooperation in our new move, we
are. yours very truly.

DO DEMING THEATREGOERS
WANT GOOD STUFF

"The sale Of moving pictures Is the
same as the sale Of merchandise" said
w. W. Wilcox, manager of the Ma jes-
tic theatre and veteran In the show
business. He went on: AT the
present time the movie houses of Dem
ing are operating at loss because Of
the severe competition. This Is the
reason that the prices in Deming are
almost half that charged elsewhere.
This is all To the advantage Of the mo.
vie fans, but 1t does not encourage the
exhibition Of the latest and best pic
lures. When special new films are
shown here the movie houses must
charge more for them and yet the pub
lie does not patronize them as they
should
Some persons seem to think that We
can exhibit n picture that costs us $50
for the same price as a $50 one. To
believe that would be tO demand por-
terhOuse steak at the price OF chuck
steak. II simply cant be done We
have contracted for some OF the latest
and best films to he had and during
the next six months will show them for
at least fifty per cent less than we
should charge. Usually only five or ten
cents more is charged, but the extra
value Is there just as IL would be in IA
bolt Of goods. all wool and yard wide
I'VE must get theatregOers TO under
stand this and the Majestic makes the
offer 10 refund the extra cost for the
better and newer films We like to
show the higher class pictures; we like
10 have our patrons pleased and salts
fled just as other sellers Of service and
merchandise like TO please their custo-
mers. lt Is matter of business
In making a siX-mOnths' contract
for the high class attractions the Ma
jeStic management wishes to make II
plain that there Is no hocus-pocus
about the matter and that the movie
fans will get the best to be had any
where. The extra cost We expect To
bear largely from our own pockets,
but we should have increased attend
ancc and more cheerful spirit In
digging up" five or ten cents extra
for the extra value offered. Every
picture now shown in Deming is eX-
hibited at from - per cent to - per
cent less than in other places in the
country, due To keen competition that
has existed here for the past two
years or more

WILL SET NEW RECORDS

Chaplin's THE Kid lives up to ex-
pectations, which is saying considera-
BILE. Perhaps no picture has ever been
tushered into official being with so
much to recommend 1t from an ex-
hibitor's standpoint.
II Is actually drama. developed
with a splendid lot Of highly original
and absolutely new incidents, played In
an exaggerated tempo with such skill
not only by the star, but the entire
supporting east, that the result is II
high class comedy.
MIR. Chaplin and his principal come
DIV assistant. the child player, jackie
Coogan, earn their laughs by legiti-
mate methods.
There is no doubt that THE Kid Is
going to receive the attention of the
