Buy and Sell for Cash—that’s the reason our prices are so low.
Compare them with your last month’s bill.
Note the differ
ence. The reason is that credit dealers must make enough on
your bill to offset the loss of accounts he is constantly losing
on others—credit buyers must pay both their own and the other
fellow’s bill. Cash buyers receive first consideration and more
and better goods. Motto: Buy at Howitt & Company’s
