We hear a good deal of talk about
business being quiet, business dull, busi
ness is no good, and this, that and the
other. Well, its true that busines is not
as good as we have seen it, ’nor is it as
good as we would like to see it, but let’s
don’t talk about how sorry it is; that kind
of talk won’t help to make better.
In our several years experience we’ve
learned that the best way to make busi
ness good all the time, is to carry a line of
good dependable merchandise; the kind
that the people want; sell it as cheap as
you can to live and let the other fellow
live; treat your courtesy that is due them,
giving them a square deal and letting them
know that you appreciate their business.
We have reduced our prices in all
lines to conform as nearly as possible with
the low price of cotton, and are taking our
losses in profits as cheerfully as we can.
