Lives of bucket shops remind us,
as we see their latest prank, that the
way to keep money is to leave it in

Most great truths have an
awful back-fire. For example
You can afford any expendi-
ture that makes money for
YOU" Sure, but how do you
know the result until after
you have taken the plunge?
And don't kid yourself. Just
90% of us, when we buy a car
kid ourselves into the convic-
ton it will make money for
us. 1t does-rnake us work
harder to keep the car. It's
like getting married. 1t isn't
so much that "two can live
as cheap as one" a. it is that
they frequently have to. And
as for the other 1917 of us,
5% are sensible folks that 90
not buy and the other go
are those who can afford it.

Please Pay the Driver

With the increase in bust
ness at this time our delivery
business is increasing proper
tionately. Many of our new
delivery customers seem not
to understand that our terms
are strictly cash-that we
have no credit accounts.
While we are glad to have
this delivery trade, we can't,
in justice to our other Gus
toners, accept this business
other than on a cash basis.
We don't like to send out de-
liveries C. O. D. and enforce
it to the letter, as it works
a hardship in case the Gus
toner is not at home.
Let us suggest that when
ordering goods over the phone
that you ask how much the
bill amounts to, so you can
leave a check for the driver if
you are away from home when
the goods are delivered.
Some of our customers buy
coupon books and leave them
at the store. This is a very
satisfactory way of getting
around the cash with order
system. Others are making
deposit with us on the first
of each month of $4,000 or

Price & Lincoln,
Kennewick, Wash,
Dear SirS

Lear SITS:
The other day l brought a
lady into your store and in
troduced her to you as a new
customer who recently had
moved in to Kennewick. At
the time you asked me why
had brought the lady to your
store particularly as there
were many other grocery
stores in town that / could
have taken her to. / gave you
a rather evasive answer at the
time but will now tell you why.
1t was because l am sure you
have the welfare of the GUS
toner in mind as well as
yourself when you are both
buying goods for your store
and when selling them to your
customers. / have found that
not all merchants feel that
way. I talked with one in
your toWn recently who de-
clared it was his policy abso-
lutely to buy his goods as
cheaply as possible and sell
them for as much as he could
possibly get. It seems to me
that this is in a great meas
ure the fault and fashion of
too many dealers of today. No
one denies a merchant a right
to a profit on the good s
he sells, but there is a time
when that percentage of pro-
fit is so great that it savors
of piracy and grand larceny.
The fact that you gentlemen
offer so many special bargains
and the absence in your store
of any goods, whose price
seems unreasonably high,
makes me believe that you try
at all times to buy as cheaply
as you can and that when you
do get a good bargain you pass
the benefit on to your Gus
toners so they, can share it,
too, instead of taking it all for
yourselves. And this, my dear
sirs, is the reason why ]
brought the new customer to
you.
Yours truly,
An Old Timer.
