U • jL X# :h J fF -OUR- NEW SYSTEM |> EGINNING JANUARY FIRST anewsys- *-* tem will be placed into effect at our store. The system will mean a big saving: to those who pay cash and we hope that in time it will be the means of reducing our book accounts to a min­ imum. Here's our scheme in a nutshell: Begin­ ning tomorrow we will give TEN PER CENT , DISCOUNT on all cash purchases made at our store. We feel that we can do this where cash ac­ companies the purchase for the reason that it saves us much work in book accounts and the mailing of Statements while at the same time it gives the man who pays cash an opportunity to buy cheaper than the fellow who doesn't. Kindly bear this in mind when trading here. With the season's greetings . to all, I am, Respectfully yours, J. J. VYCITAL The Centerville Hardware Man J) & ~ >•« V . < .
