Not only is this the fact conconiing ourselves, but it ia also an lulvHiitugo to every customer, whose interest we consider identical with ours. Wo have, notwithstanding tho ailmitt^d "hard tiiues," had a wonderful tncreuBd of trade, which we believe is attributable to ^J OUIi UOMfl PRICES ir]J The heavy and unnocoHsary expense of koepint; a book-keeper, tho extra prolits i«-iuired to cover the many bad accounts, and tho custom of adding intenst year Jifter year is now (hmo away with, wliile by receiving cash or its c<iuivuleul for our goods we are placed in a position to f urnisli them to our customers at the lowes' possible prices. So iiieourngtd are wo by the success of our CASH SYSTEM, we feel warranted in placing in stock for spring a much hirger and more varied assoituient of FASH- lONAULE GOODS. Imfividual profits here are very, very small ; it ia the largo •ggrogiUe of sail H. V^e U)ok to turning stocks over (juickly. Buy.ing in largo quan- tities at the lowest prieoH for «.\kA casii. Our system of doing business is respou- â-  blo. ft>r the cseelloub values we give you. Our new spring goods are now arrivin-,' in large consignhients daily ami custom, era can have a very select assortment to choao from, without being obliged to pay the old time f.uicy prices. P. S.
