How Can You, and Why do You?
What do you think of these ques
tions? What do they mean? How
can you? This meaDs that we have
people every day to ask us: How
can you sell goods so much cheaper
than these other fellows do; and the
other question, why (o you sell them
so much cheaper? We tell them that
we can sell them cheaper because we
know how to bny them cheaper, and
VkaQiiaa urn atarovo fiava tVia mAnan
to pay for them; and then why do we
sell them cheaper. Because we can't
helo it. It is narfc of our nature to
, .
stive uur cuoiuiueis mure lui tueir
money than anybody else. We have
do- e it so long that we don't know
how to do any other way. If we hear
of anybody's selling anything as
cheap as we do we feel real bad, al
most like we had done something
wrong. It don't often happen of
course, but whenever it does we feel
this way. We have not the space to
mention the thin s we sell cheaper
than others but just make a clean
sweep and say that we sell everything
cheaper. Dress goods, clothing.shoes,
white goods, men's hats, and milli
nery goods we sell especially cheap at
Swindell's.
