Save Your Time And Money - Buy Th
Best For Cash For Less!
On February 1st, 1929, this store will go on a cash basis
buying for cash and selling for cash this news will
be received with delight by our thousands of customers
for it is a well known fact that a concern selling for cash
can sell at lower prices and give better values and,
every one living within a radius of fifty miles of New
Bern will gladly testify that Coplon's is always anxious
to do everything possible for the benefit of its patrons.
For years and years this great concern has stood before
the public an institution built upon the foundation of
confidence, strict integrity and fair dealing, stating the
truth in its advertisements, and inculcating in its em
ployees the necessity of truthfully representing the mer
chandise offered for sale, always the leader in estab
lishing the tenets of high and scrupulous frankness in
business and unrelentingly maintaining this.

Only a few things improve with age. Service being ren
dered continuously for years becomes better and bet
ter as a result of studying a community's needs. Quality
and value plus service go hand in hand. A firm may
be ever so courteous, ever so obliging, but unless its
merchandise is of dependable quality and offered as
low or lower than it can be obtained elsewhere its
service does not count for much.
Quality plus service is, and always will be this store's
ideal. Just how well it has attained this standard may
be judged by its growth from a very small beginning
to the largest establishment in Eastern Carolina, and
now comes this, one of the greatest events in our his
tory the turning from CREDIT to CASH and offer
ing matchless savings. Right now large shipments of
new spring merchandise is arriving daily and are being
marked at lower prices than ever before.
This selling for cash will prove to be an outstanding
event. We intend to make this season the greatest of
our career we are going to establish our reputation
even to a greater extent and more generally with our
old customers, besides cementing friendship with hun
dreds of new families. This season we absolutely guar
antee you the best values that we have ever offered.
Watch for our huge February poster, which you will
receive shortly, or better yet, come in and see the match
less combination of Style, Values and Price that awaits
you in our new spring displays.
We invite your comparison, in order that you may see
with your own eyes that quality for quality and price
for price you can "Buy It For, Less" at Coplon's.
