Cash Buying
We wish to impress this fact on the minds of the Public, that
Wind, Bluff and Bluster will not pass current in payment for goods
in Wholesale Houses, neither will they with the Manufacturers, but
CASH, the real genuine cold cash will do wonders in the way of
purchasing goods cheap. We may say in this connection that we
happen to be in a position to pay Cash and do so for every dollar's
worth we buy, and by taking advantage of every Cash discount we
are enabled to place on our counters many lines at prices less than
our competitors pay for the same goods.

Who are anxious to succeed,
Read over these few verses now,
And Mind well what you read..
There is not on this Continent
A fairer land than ours,
With ample yield in every field,
In fruits as well as flowers.
Our native land is greatand grand,
Outstretched from shore to shore,
And plenty reigns on aLll our plains,
What could we wish for more.
Canadians let your watchword be :
"No land on all this earth
Cau say they beat in fairity
The land that gave you birth."
When we compete we can't be beat,
Even at the World's Fair,[cheese
With wheat and peas and with our
We won the Lion's share.
You see its grand on every hand,
Successful men are found,
A credit to their native laud
'With every comfort crowned.
But then again some men complain,
And say they can t live here;
They find it so where e'er they go
Unless they persevere.
They could not read a paper here
On how to 5111 their land ; •
Afraid the information would
Be more than they could stand:
Let it be your ambition boys
To clothe best you can,
Whatever you -think best to iso
Thou do it like a man.
