this store will adopt the Prof­
it Sharing Policy, which means
that two-thirds of the net profits
of the busmess will be divided
among the customers.
^ two-thirds profit on the
average sale, amounts to
about 10% and this 10% will be
given to the customers in CASH.
p h e store will retain one-third
of the net profit as its share.
J f it meets with the success
we predict, it is reasonable to
suppose that we will do about an
$80,000. gross business during
W ' believe that under careful
management, we can con­
duct the business at an expense
of about $5,600.
p h e remaining ’ balance of
about $12,000. would there­
fore be divided $8,000. among our
customers and $4,000. to the store.

annual inventory about February
20th. the cash dividend will be
made to all customers, based upon
thteir gross purchases for the year.
p h e adoption of this Profit
Sharing Policy will naturally
guarantee that purchasers will
buy their supplies, where they
can save at least 10% in cash.
the expenses of conducting
the business will remain
about the same during any year,
naturally the larger the gross sales
of the year, the larger percentage
of profit that will be divided.

Plan we will gladly give further
particulars, when you call at the
store, for this is a straight
business proposition, we will
make our profit and you wil
