SPOT CASH

We have proven to the peo
ple, not by word only, but by
actual test that we are saving
our customers at least lo per
cent on all purchases since
adopting our cash payment
plan.
Men's f>S GunmedaJ and Pat. Shoes, both button
and bal, we sell for 3.25. Our 3.50 Shoes, we sell
for. 2.89 and the regular 2.50 stock for 1.98. It
simply goes to show tiiat it pays to buy from a spot
cash dealer. We positively will in every case sell
the same goods for less money, or better goods for
the same money. * For instance we sell Teasel
Down Flannels, (which is the best mode) for 10c
while others either will not handle them at all or
charge you more. It is only natural however as
some body must pay their losses, and if you don't
want t J do it, better buy from Hickors's only
