Owing to the small margin of profit in the sale of goods in the very latest methods of doing business, we are forced to discard the credit system. After February I, 1 will sell foi Spot Cash only. Do not ask for credit after that date for, no matter how w ealthy or poor you are, all will then look alike. So keep in mind that the CASI I must ac company all orders by mail for goods, or must be paid before the goods are removed from the store. XX e regret having to make this move, but the trade has forced us to do so. By sending theii cash away to mail order houses and running a credit account at home', the people work a hardship on the home merchant, leaving him in a position w he re by he cannot compete with the mail order houses as long as he does a credit business. 1 herefore we have resolved to adopt the* Stric tly Spot ('ash system in order that we c an meet the prices of the* mail order houses. It has always been a pleasure to us to accommodate our patrons and extend credit when we thought it was needed. But the credit system has been S() abused that we are forced to disc arc! it, in order to protect our business. We feel justified in making this move, as it will enable us to sell more We tee! 1 cheaply and protect the man who pays cash from having to help pay the* debts of he who fails to pay his bills; also the interest on long-time accounts, or for articles which have been neglected to be charged and the expenses of the general upkeep of the credit system. w e are now' making contracts with factories to furnish us goods for I 91 5 at bed rock prices for w hich we will have to pay cash with the order and this means better goods and low er prices, thus making a saving for our customers. On and after February I, all our goods will be marked down. We give you below both the old am I ll le new price on a few' articles, that you may make the comparison i ind see what you will save. w e ask you to compare our Spot Cash prices with those of the catalogue houses as well.

All goods will be reduced to the lowest possible prices. We ask you one and all to come in and see what you can save by buying for Spot Cash. CHAS. WESELY OREGON SCIO Halsey team of I. O. t). O.
