SPOT CASH-ONE PRICE TO EVERYBODY .
Spot Cash-
Bookkeepers
Bird Debts—No Losses
IF ANYBODY CAN SELL GOODS CHEAP
WE CAN
And we do, but we don’t sell cheap goods, if you buy
here the quality is always there no matter how small
the price. The low price of cotton has made strict
economy necessary and most cvpryoue feels the need
of making every dollar go just as far as possible.
THE MERCHANT’S TEMPTATION
It is during such times as these that the merchant
is sorely tempted to lower his standard of quality.
“Here is something that looks as good, costs less,
most people cannot tell the difference,” but the de-
ceit is hero, and I10 knows it but it is a good imita-
tion aid it will soil. Yes we could do business that
way but we don’t. We are trying hard to meet the
demand for low prices, but are sticking to quality^
QUALITY FIRST — THEN THE PRICE 1
is our motto and should'' be yours. If you buy a
sorry shoe from us we will make it good, or a suit
or hat, glove or any other article. If it is not good
we will make it good. Wo just won’t sell a thing
we can’t hack up. Suppose you buy a shoe for $1.00
and it is a sorry shoe, you get mighty little real ser-
vice for your dollar and it is the same with a suit, a
dross pattern or a spool of thread.
DO YOU TRADE WITH US?
If not why don’t you? Wo know no store can give
you more for your money nor offer hotter service or
appreciate your business more, and we want you to
know it too. \
