Let’s see: An average bookkeeper gets $100 a month. ge and stationery amounts to about $25. cost of books, etc. a total of about $140. Now add to this the interest on the money and compensation for uncollected bills and you have quite a large amount. Who pays for this? Does the merchant take it out of his earnings? No, his credit buyers must pay it. He must take this means to “break even.” Why subject yourself to this tyranny? We “buy and sell for cash” and eliminate all these expenses and give you the benefit of it by making prices lower than anywhere in the county.
