Our New Years' Resolution Start It Right Now IN making our New Years' Resolution, we have resolved that we will, after January 1st, 1914, sell Groceries for cash, and sell them for less. We know that it takes some nerve to do this, and is a move that many business men will not make until forced to do so by their credi tors. We are not forced to this move by any of our creditors, but we think we can serve you better by selling for cash, which will enable us to pay cash, therefore buying cheaper. We have been in business in Ontario for almost four years, and if we must say it ourselves we have, in a measure, been successful ; but at the same time could we collect the accounts we have contracted around Ontario, we could make each of you a very substantial Christmas present and have money left. We realize that in taking this step we will lose some of our customers, but at the same time we think we will gain some; and the ones that we will gain are the ones that are really worth while. After wo inaugurate this system of doing business, if you force us to tell you that you cannot do business with us as you have in the past, don't get angry when we tell you that you cannot, as it will only be our policy of doing business. And if we cannot do business we can still be friends. In taking this step we think that we are only doing what other business men will do sooner or later. We will break the ice then they will follow. We know what you will expect of us. We know what we will have to do. But we do not think it wise to tell you all the things that we can, and will do after January 1st. In the mean time we wish to thank you all for past busi ness, and wish to merit a continuance of same. With kind regards and greetings of the season. Respectfully, Wilson Bros. & Company P. S. We will, as usual, he the best place to buy your Christmas Candies, Nuts, Oranges, Etc Plenty of eating samples for Christmas-tree committees. Get our prices before you buy.
