The pushiug progressive man, who never 1 ts up for dull times or rainy days but k--ei>a things going at any cost, apparent h, is not squandering money even when selling goods “at cost.*' .hi contrary such a merchant is goods into money'' and getting ready cash with which to buy mure stock, and with such funds is able to buy much er than slow- going rivals who advertise. Consequently, he sells new puleases at low prices again anti keeps things moving. Yes he is money—if any one is—hut all along sharing it with his patrons by them low prices: prices that the non ad vertiser cannot afford to uiaka and is not disposd to if he could.
