McKINNON- & CO., BLYTH ord or2: About Cash • The most successful men in the mercantile trade are men who oonduct strictly cash business. Why? In the first place, they know exactly where they arel at all tire time. They can pay all their bills, and take all discounts with the casi. But a merchant with -five or six thousand dollars lying around the coun- try, and he that amount short to m.lect his payments, he must borrow, and that costs money, As a result, he cannbt put the goods over his counter as -cheaply as he would like to, and nothing like as el:leap as though he were getting tlae cash or its equivalent in produce. As an example, just notice some of the largest stores in Canada and the United States—Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal, Buffalo, New York, Ohicago, an& hundreds of towns of less importance—all have their cash. stores These are the places you read about, and these are the people who give you goods at tlae closest possible price, because it is a spot cash business You cannot get five cents' worth without the cash in any of these first-class big business places, NIAnelsA4194AAAMAMAAMAMMA Why can a cash store sell Cheaper than the old way? lst—They make no lasses from bad accounts'. 2nd—They get cash for everything, a,nd pay 'cash far everything, 3rd—They have no expenses of hook -keeping, postage or thinners, 4th—They can afford from 8 to 10 per centlower, and sleep better at night!. 5th -They don't have to make one man pay what another can't or won't.
