Pay cash andsave from 25 to 35 per
. cent on every article in our store, ex

We sell strictly for Cash
after November First.'
We find,' for a variety of reasons, that
it will bo necessary for us to discontinue'
the credit system.'. Therefore, after No-'
vembcr 1, we shall sell strictly for cash.
In adopting the latter plan wc will
make no exceptions, as plain justice re
' quires that if wc decline to give credit
to one we should do so to all. '

Wo fell confident our customers will
readily adapt themselves to the new
system and believe that we will in due
season be able to give' them practical
evidence that the cash plan is best for
everybody conccriiod. - :

(Druce Barton)
In a certain city dwelt three
men. And by accident of birth one
of them Is a Catholic and one is
1'rostestant and ono Is a Jeyv.
For Jthirtyi yoairs ;.thoy, ibave .en
gaged In' businoss nine by side and
the CatholiCjJias not dealt with the
Protestant, and tho Catholic and the
Protestant have, no dealing with
tihe Jew. ... ,., .....
What Is ho to me?" each man
has said. ' "Ho Is not of my faith.
I will avoid him."
So for thirty .years they havo
dwelt together, rtrangers In
friendly world.
Then came the shadow of a
fearful war. ; And out of thoso
three homes three boys won tfo:th
alone. Three fathnrs waited heart-
worn ror tne letters from over
thet
"Thore oro sdldlelu of ;frlendli-'

and good lectures, and tho niem-
oiy of mother and of God.".
