instances all debts have been dis

Another feature that deserves
special attention is tho large
amount that is being paid on old
debts. There is no denying the
fact tiiat with tho beginning of
the year the amount of debts cur
ried over was oxtroniely large, and
the willingness with which they
are being paid off speaks well both
of tho prosperity of tho country
and tbo honesty of the people.

Did you ever hear of
so many cut price sales
as Thomson hasP It is
really funny. Before
the season opens up
you hear of ‘'cut prices”
"great reductions” etc.
Now it stand to reason
that if prices have been
cut, and great reduct
ions made so early in
the season, prices have been TOO HIGH or else the goods
were marked up for the purpose of being marked down
again. Always bear in mind that we only ask a small pro
fit and mark our goods accordingly, and this is the power
that forces "cut price” sales and “great reductions.
