Ie every special offering IS trace spy

Ie some instances is done to discourag
ID the offering Of special prices by
IT competitor. A discerning purchase
Il should patronize the first offering, !
i the end that other offerings may B
10 made. The more such offerings mad
1t the more trade the town enjoys, an
le the greatest tendency Of allis to max
w people trade at home. The merchant
