l' PACE 4 TIIK BKXD lU'M.KTIX, DAILY KDITIOS. DKM), ORKtlON, VICIINKNOAV, (HTOUKU ill, 1017 ANNOUNCEMENT TO OUR CUSTOMERS : There has never before in the history of the United States been a time when the prices of foodstuffs and wearing apparel have been as high as they are now and the present credit system of trade necessarily makes them still higher than they should be, so high in fact that it is difficult for the average consumer to save money to tide him over the days of possible illness, old age, or for any other reason, a reduced earning capacity. ! Very frequently the merchant could purchase his goods at a very fair discount if he had the cash to pay with his order and this discount rightfully should go to the consumer, which, of course, is impossible under the credit system. Then, also, with prices so high, there are some customers who fail to pay their accounts. No matter how careful the merchant may be, he is sure to lose some in this way and he must consider it as an expense when he fixes his selling prices and this condition is unfair to the customer who pays his bill. On account of this saving benefit to the customer we are, beginning November 1st, placing our business on a strictly cash basis and will sell most all items at a reduced price This reduction may not seen large on each article you buy, but just think what the saving each day will mean to you in a month or a year. We will be glad to recommend to any other merchant our customers who still wish to trade on credit but we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to save your money. BENNETT'S GROCERY.
