The business was first op ened in October, 180(1, and On the First Bay of January, 1391, I shall tart a 313 Days Cash Sale. Having had over 2.1 years experience i11 the credit business I have come to the conclusion to do a Cash Trade, knowing that it will be a saving both to seller and buyer, for when yon tape into consideration the cost of books, Lillheacls, and a man's time to keep thele, postage and travelling expenses collecting accounts; and add to that the bad debts, a few mistakes and some law, I think that all honest leen will agree with me that the Cash System is the only safe way to do business, A SHORT CREDIT WILL 13E GIVEN TO PERSONS BUILDING. I have never professed, like some men, to sell goods for nothing, but I am going to make a Big Reduction in Prices, Hoping you will think favorably of the movement and give me your patronage in the Futuro as i11 the past, I remain, Yours truly, BRUSSELS, Dec. 22nd, 1890.
