The great secret of a raerohant's success is in buying his goods right. Sullivan Hardware Co. have a regular Wholesale Department, and since opening same their trade bas increased in volume very rapidly. lathis age of sharp competi tion, merchants are looking more closely after prices, and they are finding that they can buy at wholesale from this house cheaper than by sending their orders away from home and paying freights. The reason for this is that the Sullivan Hardware Co. are always wideawake and make contracts ahead with the manufac turer direct; besides they employ a resi dent buyer in New York, with branch, offices in other eitles, who koop in touch with all large factories, which gives this house the advantage of knowing j>mt where their spot cash orders will obtain the lowest prices. It la much more satis factory for merohanta to buy in a home market when they can save money by do ing so, and that la what Sullivan Hard ware Co. propose to do for their trade. Anything in the Hardware line can be bought from them as low, often much lower, than the same class of. goods are offered by other wholesale houses.
