f. ; v v BACKET STOBE. It was a email concern 14 months ago just after we had unfurled the banner of spot cash for all we offered. Only a few salesmen and a business all to establish and build up, over tbe predictions of the future aud the scotf and jeer of effected competitors from every quarter we are to day the leading house, not only of Charlotte but of the State. In presenting this sketch of our house, and long lists of items we are aware that it falls far short of the reality. We have added many new lines, and by condensing goods' and economizing space we have crowded the best and most devc reified stock of goods ever seen in Charlotte. .Our wholesale department is iq charge of W. E. Williams and 0. Lyles, and we guarantee to every merchant who will favor us with an inspection of our stock, the prices in many lines will open their eyes, , No doubt about it. We actually retail a great many goods for less than the regular wholesale cost. It's the dol laf side of merchandise. It's the net spotteash of it, not bills dated ahead, nor discounts, nor ledger account, nor anything of the kind, but valurs clean cut ngainst dollars. We mas ter our values in the buying, and we keep the mastery by selline as we buy. The recent purchase of a larger line fine Cassimers induced us to add a Merchant Tailoring Department for - ... . . i the manufacture of pants and vests. We guarantee satisfaction with any measures left with us. We are also manufacturing Alamance shirts to sninnlv our trade. . W K M .t : Mr. Fred Moles is our general stock manager and will take pleasure in showing All hia friAnrfa thmiich thfl Backet. It's all growth at the Rackety uns .precedeoted growth, and it astonishes every body at the great stacks of goods rolling in and out daily. - Candidly we expected when we came to Charlotte to do a tremen dous trade, butwe are so far beyond anything: we had expected that we are surprised at it ourselves. It's all the outgrowth of ' the .. law r of the Backet, to never mark a thing 8 cents : if we can take 7. for if we can' take .' 7 cents we are not entitled to 8. jWe are living by that law, and It's, the .right of . it, ;Oae reasonable profit and stop makes the Backet master at E.
