There’s a ROGERS Store Near You.”
Your Best Resolution for the Hew Year
Pavj cash and become independent of high prices.
If you want to know what real independence is, begin "today to buy your foodstuffs for cash,
and enjoy the benefits of the lowest prices Just try this plan for a month, and you will be delighted at the amount saved.
Who really gob
the missing ham?
It It* rotated on nn old l.itno credit grocoryman that on one occasion
in the rush of waiting on Ills trade, lie forgot just which one of
Ids customers hud bought n hunt, having deferred limiting the entry
nt- tho moment, expecting to do so lntor. Ho racked ids bruin in
uu effort to remember whether it tvus Mrs, ./ones, Mrs. Smith, or
Mrs. Brown, nnd lie Anally guyo up in despair. Ho did not relish
the Idea of sutTcrlng such n loss, so, in order to bo on the snfo side,
ho charged the Imm to 215 different customers whom ho remembered
lmd been In his store thnt morning, Ho bolloved Hint ids attention
would bo culled to tlm mutter by each customer who hud been
charged in error, nnd credit promptly given, Imping In tins wny to
eventually And whore tho e.hnrgo rightfully belonged, Fifteen com
plaints worn promptly registered, but to thin good dny bo does not
really know who got tho hum, although he received pay. for it from
ten different cuetomers.
Are you a slave
to the credit system?
Of course, tho above may only be a hypothetical incident, but it
really sounds plausible, docs it not? Some people think it is more
convenient to pay their grocery bills once n month, but you would
think less of such convenience if you rcnli/.cd tho enormous cost.
There is no such thing nn nay merchant collecting 100 per cent of
wlint Is duo him. There nro bound to bo some lmd .accounts in
any credit business. Your grocer cannot Huy for cnsli, unless ho
sells for cnsli, npd no moroluvnt cun get tho best prices unless he
pays cash. Your' credit grocer probably sells you just iih cheaply
ns he omi under the credit system, But it Ih a system thnt will^
keep your nose to the grindstone iih long os you uso it. Why not
start the yonr by breaking nwny, uml resolve to buy only for cnsli,
even if you have to get. along on less until you uro able to readjust
, your llniinccs? .lost compare our cnsli prices, uml make a note of
\ wlint yen would save in u month's purchases. Multiply Him by
' twelve nnd see wlint u tidy sum you will lmvo In nctunl cash this
time next year.
Our belief in the people
has been amply justified.
During tho roeent ilolirium of sky-high prices nml consoionceloss
profits, when ho many people completely forgot the Golden Kulo,
this company never for one moment was tempted to deviate from the
fixed purpose of its founder, which was to render the greatest ser
vice to the greatest number. Wo pursued tho oven tenor of our way,
using every power at onr command to hold down prices, and being
content, with the smallest possible margin of profit—and in many
cases losing sight entirely of any thought of profit. This wo did
primarily for the genuine pleasure of doing business on this basis,
And, too, we believed that Some day there would come a testing
time, when tho people would remember who lmd served them best.
Our faith 1ms been justified, for our total volume of business for
the year just* closed shows an increase of 84 por cent, over that of
the previous year. In other words, otir sales for 1020 were just
$2,;ifiii,M70.NG more than in 1010. And you may be sure that such
splendid response by the people to what we consider is tho correct
policy of merchandising will spur us on to nn earnest, endeavor to
serve them better during the years to como than ever before.
You are a big factor
in fixing prices.
You will notice on this pnge two items thnt are especially appeal-*
. iug. One is a can of tender, sifted Wisconsin pens nt 11c, and the
other is nn excellent qunllty of corn ut 10c. both of these items
being ottered at real pre-war prices, or even better. The enormous
patronage which you and your friends have given us 1ms enabled us
to establish stores almost everywhere, and this of course gives us a
large buying power, ns well as facilities for promptly selling wlmt
wo buy. That’s where yog como in, for it’s your patronage that
gives us this commercial advantage. So when a large packer comes
along with two solid carloads of pens and corn, which lie must turn
into money, we buy them at our price, and pass them on to you.
Macon now has
nine Rogers stores
nml your frlomls in Hint city nro now enjoying tho bonoHt, of Rogers
service nml Rogers prices, iih nro also those in Columbus, Athens, Home,
Cnrtorsvillo, Coitartown, Carrollton, Qhinonville, Griftin, l.uGrange
nml Nawiian. Other cities nro actually begging for our service,
nuil- it will be extended just, us soon ns possible.
33 solid carloads
of Government Meats
lmvo been bought by us, nnd each of tho above-mentioned cities will
get nt least one carload. Tho eloso prices we are quoting make
this the most economical food obtainable. Every can was packed
under government supervision, nnd was subjected to tho most rigid
inspection.
Why pay seven cents
for an empty box?
If you want a fancy package of grits nt 12c, of course we will sell
it to you. But we feel that we are dcLg, you a favor when we tell
you that we will sell you the same quaid!^- and quality for 5c. The
same thing applies to oatmeal. And remember that the quality is
absolutely guaranteed. The price of all foodstuffs lias declined,
and packing materials should como down also. You can help.
You can greatly aid
in enforcing our policies.
It is a rock-ribbed iKdiey of this business that every transaction
must bo to tho customer’s entire satisfaction. If any purchase fails
in any way to come up to our standard return it, and your money
will lie cheerfully refunded. \#e will consider that you are doing
us a favor when you remember this.
