If we wanted to lie, we. would tell you that we -were selling goads at `half price, fifty per cent off for cash. Occassionally this is done with a special article,—as a job lot of .sam- pies, or remnants; but, generally when you see such. statements, you can set it down as a strain ing of the conscienceorjugglingwith the truth. We don't wonder at the Patrons of Industry boycotting the storekeepers, after reading such trash. Yo may depend when a merchant sells an article at OE below cost, he is bound to make it up on another. They are not there to do business for nothing.
