Better Bargains for Cash

ALWAYS BUY FOR CASH,” said a successful
J business i man who recently came to Gresham, “and if I
haven’t the money, I wait till I get it”
This man said he had always found it a great advantage
to do a cash business
YOU will find it so every time.
People are really
surprised at the bargains they get at OUR CASH STORE.
Some even say we are selling cheaper than the goods can be
bought at wholesale. Be it so, you get the advantage for
cash. And so do we, for our business has doubled in the last
ten days.
