I.J.LTEPF11 in the right direction if you will permit us ; help you in the upward path, so to speak, the path of plenty and prosperity, Do you want to rine in the world ? Do you want to be well heeled ? Remember that economy is the parent of prosperity, and become a practical economist by trading with US, The heavy profits which some merchants make, like the interest on borrowed money, cat'up the earnings and prevent saving. We make no such profits, and those who trade with us, will fixed their savings increase with every trade, An honest profit on an honest price IS our idea of prick and profit making Big prices and big profits are not honest, We have nothing to do with them. We will save you also in the goods we supply, Good grade goods go farther than low grade. liven at a higher price they are cheapest in the long run. But we put good grade articles on the same price -level as the low grade. That makes them cheapest in actual cash as well as cheapest in actual vaine. It takes us to make bargains 1 We are old hands at it, We know how to bay and that's how we have the secret of selling. We are past masters in the ancient and honorable art of bargain -making and will convince you that we know our work if you give us a call.
