The number of people who are paying spot cash &It -heir purchases are increasing
every sewn. They realize that they cannot afford to take credit because they have to
pay too much for this privilege, and after all the taking of credit is only done frona force
of habit, We firmly believe that 75 ler cent, of the people in this section can pay cash,
and the success of our business since we adopted the cash system is good evidence of this
fact, Nowhere is it better illustrated than in our Shoe Department which has been a
great success since we made all sales cash. Onr Ulm over is much larger and we are
selling a Enneh better class of goods. Of course to a large extent this is due to the fact g
that we are quoting extremelydOw prie- on good goods. Having no expense in this,
department and selling for cash only enables us to do this. Day after day we are told by
customers that nowhere can they -get goods to equal ours at theprioes.
Take our 70e Men's Plow Shoe—a Man came in the other day and
said "I have seen the same goods elsewhere and the price was $1.00."
Then again take our "Creole" shoe at $2. This VI sold in other
towns at $2.$0 and would be considered good value at this price, but
our department. is under no expense and We can afford to shave prices
closer than other dealers. Oar boys' "Standard school shoes" are the
