A FEW REASONS WHY WE ASK YOUR TRADE
1st. Beer.v.se our line of General Merchandise is as a whole the most eompre
hensive shown in this county;
and
is better adapted to your requirements than
fc
others tor it was selected with the experience acquired in supplying the local trade
for twenty years.
2nd. Because this experience has demonstrated the fact that only the better
qualities are aeeeptaV.e to you, and that pxr quality at any price does not appeal to
you. We therefore eliminate the cheaper grades from our purchases, and offer
In everv item the quality which we can and do guarantee satisfactory.
3d. Because with us your money is as good as your neighbors and you are en
titled to the s
way witu you
tion.
4th. Because our discount for cash is a fair one between the cash and credit
customers, and practically based on the interest rate for use of money. One gains
the discount, the other the time, and in either case the goods cost but 95 cents on
the dollar ou the basis of 5 per cent discount, or six month's time; which on a ma
jority o: your purchases is just that much less than the amount asked you by the
house seliinouiv for cash, and cutting a few prices onlv on the many thousand
items ;
lowest average nnce on vour requirements
same price on the same terms and quantities purchased, and the same
:r produce iu the same kind and quality. Therefore no discrimina-
Ye therefore submit to vou our claim of having the
5th.. Because we furnish you the most goods for the money, when quality and
price are considered, and while we do not claim our price to be lower on even- item,
yet one could purchase a bill from us with his eyes shut and the price would aver
age lower than from any other source in this market; and why?
6th. Because our methods and policies are adopted after careful consideration
of the interest of our patrons as well as our own, and with the view of building a
.larger and better business each year by better sen-ice and lower prices. The antic
ipated results of these reciprocal" measures have been more than realized by the
marked growth of our business; resulting in a much larger outlet for merchandise
and consequently placing us in a better position to hammer down the price when
we buy.
In proof of our claims we refer to the following prices which are figured as
the actual cost to you. based either on our cash discount or the benefit of time
given on account. These prices in a great measure we have offered since the rail
road reached Enterprise; with some gradual reductions which our facilities have
made possible, even under the condition of an upward tendency in the general cost
of production so apparent to even- one. In submitting this list we have not only
taken a few, but many of the goods required, and on which the merchant must
necessarily make a profit to justify carrying on a business.

These misadjustmenis and contrac-
i tjoas are sometimes quite pronounc
ed, as in the case of a spinal curva
ture; but more usually they are not
ju themselves very noticeable and
can be detected only by the eye and
hand of ote especiaJiy skilled in this
work. So thai a considerable part
of ihe usefulness of the Osteopath
lies in his ability to locate these
mechanical obstructions and to rec
ognize them as the real causes of
the malady.
He knows that they are the causes
not only because he has been
taught so during his long course in
an Osteopathic college, but because
he has himself conquered disease of
aimost every character by restoring
perfect structural adjustments. He
is not experimenting or working
I Ibliidly, but. is proceeding along a
course that is made plain to him by
acquired experience. Right Way.
