Just one week ago, the BANDON WAREHOUSE CO. introduced itself to you through the
columns of this (taper.
Among our newly made frien Is, there were some well meaning ones who
slated that they Delievcd that a successful Hay, Grain and betd business could not be conducted in
Bandon on the cash basis we advertised. W< answered that we diii not believe that any man in
Bandon with an eye to business, would oveilook the big reductions we could make in his feed bills,
by selling to him for cash only.
That our opinion was coirect, has been proven by the amount of business which we have done
in the past week.
All week long, customers new to this warehouse, have been taking advantage
of the cash prices which we offered.
Have we lost any of the trade of our predecessor by adopt
ing and adhering to a cash business policy? Yes. there was a gentleman in our warehouse this after
noon wh<> was offended when we informed him he was no exception to the new policy and in the
future must pay cash like the rest. He refuses to deal with us farther as we will not cam his account.
What will his decision cost him in dollars and cents? The books of our predecessor show
that his monthly bill for feed averaged about $100.00 a month, or #1200.00 a year, and that he paid
liis bill fairly promptly.
The histoty of business shows that a firm extending credit, must charge
from 15 to 25 per cent more for its goods than its competitor who demands cash.
That man
therefore, with the $1200.00 account is paying from $200 to $300 for the privilege of “carying an
account” and throwing away enough money to feed his teams for two - or
three
months,

..... _
If we
asked you to “Plank” doun on our counter, $300 in hard cash for the privilege of buying and pay-
ing for $900 worth of goods, would you do it? No, of course not and vet you are doing the same
thing every time you buy feed and have it “charged.”
“Charge accounts" keep a poor man
poor.
Another way of looking at the “charge account”,
For example--Would you borrow
maney of us, and pay us from 15 to 25 per cent, a month for the use of it?
We would dislike
to approach you with such a pioposition
Why then should you approach any one else and your-
self make the offer. That is what you are doing when you say, charge it please.
Then again,
dont you know you feel better when you pav cash--you are independent, you are asking favors of
no one.
We Want That Cash trade.
Yes, we lost $1200 worth of business at one shot.
Does that pav? We figure that it will,
and that every $1200 book account we now turn down eventually means three or four times as much
in Cash Business.
How many times have You had the chance to buy a good horse, or a fine
ranch at a ridiculously low price. If You Only Had The Cash?
That is the very proposition with us. California hay and grain wholesalers want cash, some
times very badly, and must dump their stocks. Then there are fluctuations in the prices that last
for a day. Who can take advantage of these opportunities? Can the retail merchant who has
$50,000.00 on Lis books and no cash in the drawer, who must wait 60 days for his customers to pay,
can he take advantage of th »se snaps? Hardly.
Now we propose to have that ready cash in order that we may be in at the ‘killing” and grab
some of those very same opportunities. Having cash, however, is not all—it is only half. The
other half is to have a buyer there, a man on the ground who is keen and always on the lookout.
We’ve got ii st such a man, a wide-awake shrewd buyer, one who could make you sell your new
suit for one-half what you paid for it His instructions are to sit up nights, if necessary, in order to
buy at figures that will benefit B indon people.
If he doesnt maks good, then we will get a buyer
that could induce you to sell your suit at one-third cost. We believe we have a good buyer, how
ever, for he has sent us a shipment of Bran at a figure that will permit of our selling it at 95 cts a
sack. Doesnt it pay to pay cash? Mabe you do not want bran. Then how about grass hay at
$1.40? Think it over that’s all we ask—and then the rest will follow- you will buy of the BANDON
