me merchandise he buys. but must
also pay as much as 30 per cen. In
addition TO that price for the pri-
vilege OF buying on credit"
Because this plan works a an
ancial hardship OH the wage-earn-
ers this store specisIizes in the
cash and carry policy, 80 as to ell
inmate carrying charges and make
the customers dollars buy the
most.
Robinson's Economy Store not
only handles first-class new furni-
ture. rugs carpets and other house
hold goods. but also good used
household merchandise. The pro-
prietors are courteous and accomo-
dating TO customers and employ a
number OF colored workers.

a hearty welcome 10 the new ten
ants at the Brewster Housing pro-
jet and invite them 10 visit Robin
sons Economy Store and purchase
their household goods. They allow
