That Kerosene Oil can only be ship ped on certain days, in a.magazine and not with other goods. To exchange goods only for cash re quires nerve, but it demonstrates principle, and-insures-sefety and suc cess. To exchange goods for promisas to pay is extremely hazardous, and puts a merchant in the attitude of a.beggar for what belongs to him. To think twice, and examine care fully all goods that don't appear -right, before you write and charge the house you buy from with an attempt to take advantage of .you. Whenever .you open a 'barrel, half barrel or kit of any description of tish, and it is not all right, be sure to give the name of the packer of the iish to the house you bought from. Do you Consider the Importance of Doing your own work. Not paying too much rent. Selecting a store in a good location. Never buying more goods than your trade may require for thirty days.
