To The People of Grass Valley
and Vicinity:
The time has come when it is no longer possible for a merchant to
sell his goods on a credit basis in competition with others who demand
cash upon delivery. I have tried for years to continue the credit business
in order to allow my farmer customers the maximum of leniency in paying
for their purchases, but under the prevailing conditions I find the credit
policy no longer possible for me and believe it is of slight advantage to my
customers.
Consequently, beginning Monday. July IS, I will sell my
Merchandise for Cash Only. By doing this I will be able to re* -
duce my prices so that they will compare favorably with those that may be
obtained anywhere in the trade territory. In this way no one will be
obliged to pay for credit losses caused by those who cannot pay; I will be
free from bookkeeping costs and other expenses that are necessary under
the credit system.
I deeply appreciate the friendships that have been formed during the
past years of business and thank my customers for their patronage. I wish-
to continue serving the community in the same manner under the new
system and believe that I will be better able to do so by asking that pur
chases be made for cash. Price« will be lowered drastically. <
Ask for my Prices on Staple Groceries for your Harvest
needs. You will be pleased.
