The Many Have Too Few and

have the pleasure to an
nounce the location of an agency
, in New York City for the pur
ch ase and selection of my stock,
in order to enable me to quote
loicer prices than others who buy
on long time and ask big prices
in these days of panic and hard
times.
My agent has instructions to
watch every sale, and every
failure, to look after every house
on the verge of bankruptcy and
ruin, and with cash in hand to
buy the lump or the lot, every
class of merchandise that we can
get at less than its value, so that
we can mark in plain figures on
my bargains prices that have
not been been named in this mar
ket, or any other. Not by favor
but by merit alope do I expect
to make and maintain a reputa
tion for cheapness.
Big prices will not do these times
when even the wealthy cannot
afford to waste their money, and
the poor require double duty of
every dollar.
As my prices change with ev
ery sale, it will be impossible to
give quotations, but it will be1
my aim to name figures that will
compel you in self defense to buy
of me.
I deal in good goods, and not
trash, and I believe the masses
will patronize that house that
sells the best goods for the least
money.
Among my daily arrivals I
shall place before our pleople !
some landslides that are posi
tively beyond the whisper of
competition, comparison or mo
nopolyprices that will teach
you in the silent logic of truth
the difference between dealing
with live and with dead men, be
tween the cash and the credit
system, between the right and
the wrong way.
New advanced ideas crowding
out the old, pluck instead of luck,
cash instead of dredit, brains in
the place of cheek, and sceuce
and ability beating back and
crushing into oblivion these
moonshine merchants with their
WHigh and tivmenciuus long tim?
j i i'U'OS.
What is the' use wasting a dol
lar, when you can save.it, I
-hall offer such unanswerable
arguments as no house can match,
leaders and specialties at quota
tions that no other can offer;
tern and stubborn facts that
will level your head on the sub
ject of genuine bargains,
This is the music that shall
crowd my store, whilst other
merchants sleep on their coim
1 ers, dreaming of the day of dis
aster and ruin awaiting all who
buy on long time, and sell on
longer, who pay big prices, and
all at figures that no people can
afford to pay. I invite an earl;
and repeated visit and inspec
tion. My stock will be replen
ished every, few days. I do not
till mail nor telephone orders;
goods not sampled; all goods not
as represented the cash will be
refunded.
Respectfully submitted to the
cash trade only.
