This maj interest some of you who have been trading with ^s year after year, for IVs human nature to have pride in the Store where you trade. If ow, there must be some good reason for this increase in oar business. People don't eome here to trade because they like us. If they could buy the same Goods at the same prices on credit they wouldn't come here and pay us cash in advance. No, the only reason they pay us the Cash is because we save them money. They have found out that it pays them to trade here, and it'll pay you, too. We are selling GOOD CLOTHING at a smaller margin of profit than any Credit Clo t bier s can afford. No doubt about it. We have told you this before, and we mean every word cfit-every word. If we weren'i doing this very thing, in stead of a large and prosperous Clothing Store you would find here simply an empty space. Every Credit Clothier has a certain amount of lorises by bad debts. Then there's a high-priced book-keeper to pay. Here we have no losses. No book-keeper to pay. Every sale is Cash. We don't have to add on a certain per cent to our Goods to cover losses by bad debts and to pay book keepers. If we can't savs? you money we don't want your trcde.
