We believe in quick sales and small profits. We want to keep the goods moving and the large volume of business we do satisfies us. We get the cash for every piece of goods that leaves our house and have never varied from that rule to the extent of a single spool of thread. We are the only cash house in Gaffney. If you buy on time we can do nothing for vou. You will just have to go on paying double the prices that we charge, while those who pay cash can live on just half what it costs you. Everybody knows that The Fair is the cheapest store in Gaffney and it can be abundantly proved any day by getting prices on any article of merchandise at other stores and comparing them with our hard time prices based on cash buying and cash selling. We are the pioneers in Gaffney of up-to-date methods of doing business, cash buying and selling, money back if you want it, and absolutely the low est prices. The people appreciate this and give us their trade. We are saving them hundreds of dol lars all the time and they know it. We are now clearing out our entire summer stock preparatory to putting in the largest, com- pletest, best and cheapest fall and winter stock ever seen in Gaffney. Our qualities and prices will sur pass anything ever put on sale here and the quan tity will tax the capacity of our store-room. Before this stock gets in we will therefore have to reduce our present summer stock to the lowest possible point. We have already begun to do this and have marked everything down to prices that we know will move it out by the time we will want the room.
