We have just finished taking stock, and find that we have too many summer goods, clothing, shoes and
tats, that must go at a price that will make the buyer smile, as he has never done before.
people with cash should come to us for goods, as we do nothing but a CASH BUSINESS and mark our
goods to please Cash Customers, Having One Price to all. We would quote prices, but expect our dis¬
tomers to do that. Our goods speak for themselves.
