I arn^ well aware, however, that many will take exceptions to thi s course . and eon- feequently very much if not all of my, J' former trade may drift elsewhere. I: (shall hope, of coarse, it may be other- ^ wise, and shall endeavor «> make such ? ' reductions in prices on* alt kinds «*F goods that those who may take offends at being required to pav eash for their( -? goods, and go elsewhere to trade, wiu ' beat theimelvea more than they can t i •, me. 1 shall avoid the pain of dunning !,jfr- »ny patrofts for what they ow«ine? the shame of J>elrig dunned myself by %f l§; creditors; the losses occasioned by trusting,those who never Intend to pay |T their debts; the loss occasioned by tottfc Sr l>eing able to pay cash for my goods.-- & - Many of my patrons will avoltFthe ^mortification of b«ing dunned; others Will avoid the prickings of conscience at their giving occasion for the same by using their credit when trading with me and abusing that credit by asking me to wait their treasure for my pay, while they have the impu­ dence to take their money or produce Ho some house where they have no credit (and dare not use it if they had) ^ because there they can ge t goods a tri- ; | Jle cheaper by paying for them. Many will also avoid the sin of promising to pay at a given time and making 110 ef- : fort to fullfill that promise. By adopt­ ing the cash system all will escape sharing in my losses on bad debts in the future or paying interest on their • ^ accounts. In short I have adopted this S rule for my own protection as well as the protection of all. who may deal with me. Be assured then I will merit ;; the patronage of all who pay for their w goods when they get them; Whether p" I receive such patronage or not I will do all, in my power to make our future busings relations pleasant aniJ- profit­ able while I remain in Itingwood. All who may favor me with their patron­ age shall receive their full share of all the benefits arising from the cash sys­ tem. As I have determined to close my Books, even if by doing so I close my, business in King wood, all who have un­ settled accounts with me are very re­ spectfully requested to attend to the settlement of the same at once.
