^ T-TTrTtTT AL T A mn orriAxi ! ANDERSON. S. 0.. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 21. 1903. VOLUME XXXIX-NO. 18. Just finished we did the Largest Easiness of my November In the history of the House ! For the eleven months of 1903 the sales haye mounted to a height never before attained. This may, interest some of yon who have been trading with ns year after year, for it's human nature to haye pride in the Store where you trade. Kow, there must be some good reason for this increase in our business. People don't come hare 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. Ko, th? 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 smailes margin of profit than any Credit Clothiers can afford. Ko doubt about it We have told-you this before, and we mean every word ?fit-every word. If we weren't doing this very thing, in stead of a large ?nd prosperous Clothing Store you would find here simply an empty space. Every Credit Clothier has a certain amount of losses by bad debts. Then there's a high-priced book-keeper to pay. Here we have no losaos. Ko book-keeper to pay. Every ?ale is Cash, We dont he re to add on a certain per cent co our Goods to cover losses by bad debts and to pay book keepers. If we can't save you money we don't want your trade. v ULA. ja. <M*JLM. JLv 19 JLLwJL w ? REA?Y FOR TOUR INSPECTION. Sere are some of the Values we offer : $5.00 2s the low price we place on a big line of Men's and Young Men's Suits. Blue and Black Cheviots, also Cassimeres in Checks and Plaids.
