The World's best markets have contributed their share to this model gathering of merchandise.' Nothing that a first-class credit, with the spot cash, to discount every purchase, can be mentioned, in our line, but what some of our numerous sales force can immediately display before you a splendid showing, covering your re quirements. No Old goods to Offer, which have accumulated in the course of ten or fifteen years on one-horse merchandising, but modern, up-to-date" goods, which compare favorably with the lines shown by the largest New York retailers, are found in this store. , We Buy for Cash, we Sell for Cash. We offer you reliable goods, fully 20 per cent below the lowest price your credit store can sell you. We give you 5 per cent rebate on every sale, because we get the cash and can discount our purchases, and thus secure the goods at the lowest possible cost, and save the discount besides. Nothing in the West pays the dividends to the customer that Frank A. Cram offers you, and you are protected by our hopes of future business with you. We must treat you right or else our business would degenerate, which we are proud to say is not the case, as even in the case of a partial strawberry failure, we are making a most phenominal record for 1904, and that is proof conclusive that the citizens of Hood River are intelligent and prefer to support a live, up-to-date Cash Store, that handles only dependable modern goods, which are a credit to the wearer as well as Frank A. Cram. Plenty of intelligent clerks to wait on you, and thousands of dollars worth of winter goods at your command. Yours truly, FRANK A. CRAM. O. R. & N. TIME TABLE.
