I After having given the Credit" System a fair trial during the-past, few years, and become thoroughly convinced that it ia the- fruitful . spurce of much- loss, expense .and arixiety as wellitb the customers as the merchant, we have finally, after mature consideration decided to go jn and do a CASH BUSI NESS,, feeling assured that that is the only sound method of doing business, and when properly. car-; r f to thirty per cent below tlie iisiial credit, prices, and will. cover all classes of goods. ' It; is a well: |kho\v-n fact that houses doing a credit uusiness'must calculate on a'loss of one dollar in every eight, and tb protect them selves against this loss, they have to add 12J cents to every dollar. For. instance, a merchant doing, a credit business, wishes to realize a profit of 15. cents on an article ried out as we inbertd-to Jo, w'ill result in a great saving to our cus tomers. -J We do not intend to merely ad-. Tertisa that we are going in on .the-. Cash. System, and afc the same time continue the credit business and the old credit prices, but we intepd to, carry it out to 'the tetter, and make a genuine reduction uL all oiir goods. This reduction will in many cases amount to from' twenty . i^ \ ' tomer of one dollar in every eight. If he sells his wheat for a dollar a bushel, :by paying cash at a genuine cash store, he will gain one bnshiel j.n every eight. If he isa rhechanic or laborer, he ains one diy's pay_ ia every eight-; These are startling facts and known to be facts by 'every merchant. 1 ' It, may be that we may loose a few of our customera who have be come bo wedded to the old credit which cost him a dpUaitj to do -SO-^ he .must cfiarge a dollar and tweh-^ - ty-ight cents -one dollar.^cost'"oil .: article,. 12ij cents for average loss1; i by credit bjusiness, and thebalanoa,' .15 cents, his profit Whereas, if: he had - been doing, a.cash business' he would have sold the article,Jorf one dollar and fifteen, cents, instesid( of ti dollar and twenty-eight cantsf"" the credit price.' : ., ' , i J Now here is a profit to the cuis> JOHN SPEIGHT.
