We are fully persuaded that on a Cash Basis and no other COM e a ..hierchetit do justice to his customers, as it well known fact that every credit business has its losses, extra expense in book-keeping and loss of interest on long standing aceouuts. This extra expense and loss must come out of the profits. We are satisfied that there is a universal feeling in favor of doing business "on the Cash System; that Most people are rtinning accounts more f-roin the force of habit than from the force of circumstances; and will welcome the change, provided we show a aubstantial reduction in the price' of our goods. i3y buying for cash and selling for cash, we can and will sell at lower prices than ever before, and lower than any credit house dare sell at.
