Those who have watched the phe
nominal growth of our business and
drank of the cooling waters of low
prices we are giving, know perfectly
well the reasons for our great sue
cess. It is said there is not a house
like it in the Nation doing the busi
ness we are doing in a city of 15,000
people. Last week a gentleman
came from Pittsburg on purpose to
learn, if possible, the cause of our
great trade. After spending two
da' 9, he said to the writer he would
rrnt have missed it for an hundred
dollars. He had gathered up new
ideas of business success. The truth
is our success has exploded the the
ory and practice of high prices, es
tablished beyond doubt that the !aw
nf nimmt in miTrhandis is that of
small profits and quick sales. That
of reducing the business to Cash, of
mastering with Dollars when we buy
and keeping the mastery when we
we se'l Uder-buy; Under sell.
To every visitor we extend a cordial
invitation to come and see us, to go
all through our House, to get prices
under the law o! Dollar Valuations,
and to buy as it will pay yru to buy.
A page is not not large enough to
give in detail an idea ol our business.
To appreciate it you mus t see it.
We append lists of prices of a few
items in the leading drpa tmmt:
