“THE OLD RELIABLE’
We wish to announce to our customers and friends, thet we are
doing business at the same old stand, in the same old way,
selling everything “FOR LESS”.
Not with so much noise as some, but with the goods at prices
that can’t be beat in the City.
Sound argument is not composed largely of noise no way, it takes
the real article now days, with goods at the right prices, and
that's what we've got, Old Man Cash is our best friend, and
when he calls we meet him at the door with a warm reception,
and give him goods “For Leu". We buy for Mr. Cash, and
take all discounts, and can sell you cheap.
To Our Credit Department.
We give the same attention as we do to Mr. Cash, for we
don't sell a man unless we regard him perfectly good. When
we take you on we take care of you for your wants, and ap
preciate you just as much as if you were trading for Cash, as
. we know we’ll get it when due. We keep a well selected line
and can please the most exacting, in almost everything wanted.
We solicit your business, and wiUh cc a .1 our
power to make it pleasant.
