Merchandise
Direct from Leading Eastern Mills and Factories at Less than Cost to the Makers.
The unexampled prosperity of the Country for the past year has led to unprecedented overproduction by
manufacturers. Banks have extended foolish and unlimited credit and thousands of producers have over-reached in
their production. NO LESS THAN THREE THOUSAND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF GOODS LIE PILED UP IN THE
store - houses of A merican factories and mills . The product has been “ pumped in" while money was “easy” and
producers were fairly drunken with* the dizziness of fleecy “ prosperity.” And now the balloon descends—money
lias. “ tightened” banks will loan no more cash on ‘ wind,” and the money represented by the overproduction of
prosperous times must now be “ milked out.” Profits have gone glimmering—even cost on goods must now be
ignored— money must be raised at once on MERCHANDISE collateral ? The Mills and Factories have the goods
and MUST SELL?
A Syndicate has been formed to raise money at once, by a number of leading mills and factories,
on their products. Goods have been shipped into many western towns and, scities elling agents appointed, and
orders given to raise what money they can—quickly—on the merchandise.
