“Not Afraid.”
A friend asked us the other
day if we “were not afr< id to
call our goods by their right
names and brands and put the
prices on them.” Said he “would
be afraid some other merchant
would cut the price?’ We told
him we were not afraid of any=
thing of the kind. There is not
a merchant anywhere who can
possibly have more confidei ce
in his goods and prices than we
have in ours. Simply because
we pay cash for everything, save
all the discounts, which very
near pays all the expenses of
our store. We loose nothing in
bad debts, which amounts to a
big sum in a year. Our expenses
are less than most stores. If you
will think about these things,
you can readily see why we are
not afraid to price our goods in
our advertisements. We can
sell you your goods from 25 to
33 I= 3 per cent cheaper than you
can buy them on credit.
