THE STORE THAT SERVES YOU BEST
Cash Talks Loudest
It is a fact that can not be denied, you
. can buy for cash at a lower price than
on time. It not only applies to large traneactions
but for any comodity regardless of the amount. We
would rather sell ovr merchandise at a less price for
cash than get 10 per cent more, as one has to do, on
credit. Yon can figure what it costs you to get ac
commodated on time.
