CASH SYSTEM.
IBEG to inform my numerous patrons of my intention of inau-
gurating the Cash System in nay business on and after Mar.
15th, 1894. It will not be amiss here to give a few reasons
why I intend adopting the Cash System :—(1) The Cash
System is the only true business principle. (2) I can buy
Cheaper for Cash, so can you. (8) I know just how I stand
at the end of the year, so do you. (4) Six months of the
year will not have to be spent by me posting books and
making out accounts, but on the contrary this time can be
used in a manner which I trust will be of profit to my
patrons.
Thanking you one and all for past patronage, I solicit a
continuance of the same.
