Our Slippers in Narrow and Common Sense Toe at 75c, 1 00,
1.25 and 1.50 cannot be bought at these prices unless the mer
chant buys for spot cash, and sells the same way. We sold a
customer yesterday, after he had looked the town over, and he
said : “the-e are the best shoes I have seen for the money.” The
price is 1.25.
We were talking business to a friend a few days ago, and he
said: “I have some money loaned out at 8 per cent but I don’t
think there is any sense in loaning it at that rate and paying from
33 to 50 per cent profit on my goods just in order to have them
charged until fall.”
That man looks at things right. We sell our goods for Spot
Cash, or such barter as Wool, Meat and Lard, and good cash cus
tomers are not charged a big profit to cover the losses on those
who don’t pay. One price to all alike, and that the lowest.

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Flos, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
