Cared of Thanks.
1 take this opportunity of thanking the public for their
patronage for the past twenty-four years that I have owned or
been in connection with the Hardware Business in the Village
of Brussels. 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.
