We are Fixing to Please the People.
IT WILL SURE MAKE Y0D LAUGH
TO SEE THE STOCK WE ARE
GOING TO FETCH DOWN
THIS FALL.
ETHY,
We have just been playing with competition while
we were learning our business ; but didn't we shake
'em up while we were playing, though!
It's just fun for us to do 'em up on prices. We
like it.
It goes hard with the old fellows to come down to
hard -pan prices, but we are gettin' 'em, sure.
When they meet our prices they have to have the
t money down. Do you catch on to that?
You see, every merchant knows as well as we know
and you know, that when you sell goods at a small
margin you must have the money down, and when you
stick to old-time prices, of buying an article for $1.00
and selling it for $2.00, the merchant can sell on time
and lose one dollar on every four he sells and then
make money. But where are you if you pay himf
You pay for the fellow that didn't pay. See!
We are running an old-fashioned country store.
We buy everything you bring to sell corn, wheat,
oats, rye, chickens, eggs, butter, fruit, wax, taters, and
everything else, and when you want to buy, we cau sell
you anything you want
Dry Goods, Notions, Shoes,
Hats, Glass, and Crockery
ware; Groceries
of every kind, and we are going to put in a line or two
more this fall that every man in Burke county will be
interested in.
We won't tell you this time what lines these will be,
but wait, and if we don't make the fur fly from high
prices, it will be a strange thing to us.
We don't want the earth on every sale. We sell
goods on a per cent., and a small one at that.
We buy for the spot cash, and have to sell lots of
stuff to make our profit.
Yours,
J. L. AMKSON & CO.,
THE FULLEST STORE IN BURKE.
