BANNER-WATCHMAN, ATHENS, GEORGIA, APRIL 2, 1889 . ■ .1*. - - ■: KSSPIIIBSIIKh an 8 A FEARLESS COMPETITION IS A GAIN TO TH PUBLIC. Max Joseph has Met his Competitors and They are His’J 4h'tm It is rather tough when competitors come together, and criticise another mer chant’s doings, and try to mislead, by false misrepresen tations, the acts ef one that is beneficial to the public. But it is nothing less than Max Joseph expected. They say, “down with him, he is ruinous to our trade.” A friend of mine overheard the conversa tion, heard him say, “Well, ONE ADVANTAGE WE HAVE, HE sells for CASH only, and most of the people don’t want to pay money. We can get our old time profits on credit.” That is the only way they can down me. ^Will you let them do it? Will you pay 100% profit to those that buy on a credit, or do you want your goods at 50 cents on the . dollar for the Cash? You are t<> judge. Td ovefdfime this and capture these ico per cent elephants, I will put on this week double width All wool Beiges at io cents,worth 30 cents. All wool Cashmeres at 10 cents, worth 30 cents.
