Second, That cbesirable cus tomers cannot be gained by the; oft-tried practice of some deal ers in cutting prices on a few leading articles, hoping to make it up on something else. That hard work and close ap plication to business is the price of success, i ! j That our business for 1889 shows an increase over the pre vious year tit 20 per cent., which very srratiivme:, ana ior is which we wish many friends in to thank Asheville our and Western North Carolina.
