For lack of inside information the papera could not state ibnt this actiou waa taken only as a preventative meaaure against u small number of ohatreperoua credi­ tors who threatened suit and attachment. The R. A. Pilcher Company ia not in financial difficulty because of luck of patronage, hut solely through bad management in its executive department.

W ith these conditions corrected and stocks reduced, the business promises to goon I k - in n sound financial condition. The stores have enjoyed a wonderful patronage which is evidence of their popularity and ability to serve. To rehabiliate these stores is the plan and purpose of this procedure and the desire of creditors generally, and with your co-operation, we hope within a short lime to restore them to their owners in a hearty, wholesome condition. For the purpose of reducing stocks and accumulating some needed cash, we are niukmg moat attractive prices, to which you will agree when you have perused this ad. Your (»utronugc and cooperation are solicited, first, on the basis of the spleiidii^ values offered, and secondly, in the satisfaction you will get in responding to a friend and neighbor in distress, and in the pride we all take in saving to our respective communities and ourselves an institution that tills a daily need and is worthy of our confidence and support.
