Swindell's Cash before delivery is a phrase which souuds rather harsh to a man seeking to buy good, but when he sees a saving of 25 to 43 per cent his natural desire to save all.the money he can, removes any sting which it may cause and he becomes a most ar dent admirer of the philosophy which knows no friends, but in cold, silent letters announces that the merchant has cast aside his credit ledger and would sooner keep his goods than to sell them without the hard equiva lent which moves the wheels of com merce, and provides all the necessa ries and luxuries which the human race demands. Cash on delivery has ever been our motto and to this motto we attribute what success we may have attained. We desire tocall your attention to our great bargain for this week: 50,000 lad'es straw hats, all ehapes.at only 25c for your choice This is tbe biggest bargain in straw hats ever offered in Raleigh.
