Year's Greez;, 189:; be sans E year of 1895 is past, and has been a so-called hard 78 | © year for farmers and business men ; and what the year of 1896 will be no one can tell: What we would like to say to you is this: That it would be a wise‘act for you to buy on our Cash or Produce method for 1896. This, our new method of doing business, is but four months’ old—so to say, only in its infancy—and it has met with great saccess. It is highly ap- preciated by people who are trying to get along without heavy store accounts. We believe we are the only people in the county doing business strictly on these principles. It might cause you a little inconvenience at times, but just use the great remedy, SELF-DENIAL, and you have overcome the difficulty, There are a great many and good reasons why you have a big advantage in dealing with us; we know it and so do all busi- ness men, that by paying cash we can get closer margins and large discounts on our purchases ; then we know by selling our goods for Cash or Produce only we can sell on small profits. We don’t have to count on bad debts, loss of interest, disputed accounts, goods going out and not charged, extra expense in book-keeping, etc. etc. All these things pesebants coing a credit business must take-firstint extra profit to cover this, or ir a unless he had unlimited capital (which, unfortunat eee not 5 out of every 50 merchants possess) We é€ a short experience in the cash business and we tell you ue a pleasure. Customers, look at the advantage you have by pay- ing as you go: 1896. 1. You save 15 to 20 per cent. _ You are under no compliment; you ean bay where you like. 3. No accounts presented to you at the end of the year. . You only pay for what you get. . No account to dispute. ; You won’s be persuaded to purchase goods or asked to So Reng ean adh ReanH CRS CHUTE MMC HR ha lion the nm comes you have neither. Look back to the past year and you have refe rence enough. You mighc say, “ almost must have credit at times.” We say, “No!” Just use self-denial and you can do it if you try. We would just make a little suggestion to you—pay up every business man on Jan. 2nd. you_are short, borrow enough, and you are independent ; start the New Year on cash principles and you won ‘t have to borrow money to pay your account in 1897. Hoping our many customers and the ee will take no offence at this suggestion, as it is really re! a business matter which should be done, and wishing you all a prosperous New Year, I remain, one, err" H.
