E ag le C re e k N otes Under our Profit Sharing Plan We expect to pay 10c for every dollar’s worth of cash tickets issued in 1917. But those prefering to cash in before the end of the year can do so on the same terms allowed in 1916; 2% cash or 3% on aluminum ware. We want to pay as large a dividend this year as possible as it will have a tendency to increase our trade next year and you can rest assured that those assisting us to make the plan a success this year will receive a larger dividend next year, than those coming in later.

N N O U N C E MEN To the Public and Patrons of Our Store: On account of the abnormal condi tions of the market and the rapid and continuous increase in prices of Hard ware, Steel Goods and Machinery, we are compelled to change the business methods that we have followed in the past and beginning with the New Year, 1917 our business will be on a CAS H BASIS. We are not only losing all our profit by extending credit on the goods sold, but also the cost of getting and hand ling these poods. For this reason we find that the Credit Department of our business is run If you will stop to think or figure, you can see the reason we are compelled to do this. If we sell you $10.. $20., or $50. worth of goods on a 10% margin and they are not paid for within 30 to 60 days, by that time these goods have raised in price 10% or 15% and we can not replace them on our shelves for the money we would receive from you 30 to 60 days hence. Yours For Mutual Gain In order to do justice to our custom ers and ourselves, we must run this store on a business b a sis-th a t is, not make one department help to make good the loss of another. ning at a loss and in order to keep our Cash Department f r o m helping us shoulder this loss we are compelled to As an inducement to both our Cash and Credit customers to help us in our new method, we will give a 3% Discount on all Hardware and Steel Goods, a 5% Discount on all Machinery and Farm Im plements. reorganize on a C A S H BASI S If you have not the ready cash and need any of our goods, we will help you make arrangements to get the money on 30 to 60 days time, without interest.
