SUPPOSE YOU
WERE TOLD
That in some unaccountable way you
had an overlooked deposit to your
credit in the bank. It would puzzle
you to account for it, and you might
doubt it; but you wouldn’t let any
grass grow under your feet in getting
to the bank to investigate it,would you?

When we tell you that we can sell you
just as good goods as you have been
buying, and in many cases a good deal
better, and sell them to you at from 15
to 33 per cent, less than you pay else
where, it may appear to you just as
impossible, but is it not just as impor
tant to investigate its truth ? The
only difference is that the bank argu
ment is only a supposition, while the
other is a solid, tangible, demonstrable
fact! We are here to prove it! Will
you put us to the test?
