t
A FEW REASONS WHY WE ASK YOUR TRADE
1st. Because our line of General Merchandise is as a whole the most compre
hensive shown in this county; and is better adapted to your requirements than
others for 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 acceptable to you, and that poor quality at any price does not appeal to
you. We therefore eliminate the cheaper grades from our purchases, and offer
in every 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 same price on the same terms and quantities purchased, and the same
way with your produce in the same kind and quality. Therefore no discrimina
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 on the basis of 5 per cent discount, or six mouth's time; which on a ma
jority of your purchases is just that much less than the amount asked you by the
houses selling only for cash, and cutting a few prices jonly on the many thousand
items you have to purchase. We therefore submit to you our claim of havrng the
lowest average price on your requirements
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 every' 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 service 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

Locating the Obstruction.
These mlsadjustments and contrac
tions are sometimes quite pronounc
ed, as in the case of a spinal curva
ture; but more usually they are not
la themselves very noticeable and
can be detected only by the eye and
hand of one especially skilled la this
work. So that a considerable part
of the usefulness of the Osteopath .
lies in hie ability to locate these
mechanical obstructions and to rec
ognize them as the real causes of
the malady.
He knowa 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
almost every character by restoring
perfect structural adjustments. He
Is not. experimenting or working
bUhdly, but la proceeding along a
course that Is made plain to him by
acquired experience. Right Way. .
