DISCOTOTS FOU EAULY OHDEHS. 



It has tieeii our custom in the past few .years to otter discounts during the fall and winter ou many ar- 

 ticles iu our catalogue, so as to divert as much as possible of the spring trade into those early months, so 

 that we may not be so crowded during the spring months that we can not attend to orders promptly. We 

 intend to make the discount sufficient to make it an object to buy early, so that, even if you have to bor- 

 row the money, it will pay you to do so, providing you know pretty nearly what your wants In the spring 

 will be. It is best, too, to get your stulf early, so as to have it nailed together and painted during the 

 long winter evenings and dull times when you have nothing else to do; then it will be all ready when you 

 need it in the spring. Of course, to ott'er these inducements cuts down our margin ou the goods to a 

 small basis; but we prefer to do so rather than have the trade come all at once, and then perhaps be 

 obliged to disappoint many of our customers by not shipping promptly. Then, too, we have the machin- 

 ery all ready, and it might as well be running as not. Below we enumerate the articles on which we will 

 allow a discount, in two lists: During September and October discounts will be
