It is Extravagant Economy not 



to have liives, sections, comb foundation, 

 etc., on liand wlien needed. To prevent 

 disappointment, order early what you will 

 need in that line. Then the liives can be 

 nailed and painted in odd times, and the 

 sections put together, so as to be ready at a 

 minute's notice. It is a sad disappointment 

 to need these tilings and then not have 

 them on hand. They should be ordered 

 inunedjately.

Gooas >vill 1>e Sent C. O. I>. only 

 when sullicient money is received with the 

 order to pay charges both ways, in case 

 they are not taken from the express office 

 by the person ordering them. 



Ho-H- Ooodis ai-o tol>e Sent, should 

 be very distinctly stated. Anything to be

 heavy goods should not be sent by Express, 

 unless particularly needed for use at once. 



Credit.— We sell on small margins, and 

 cannot afford to take the risk of selling: on 

 Credit. If we did a credit business, we should 

 be obliged to add from 10 to 20 per cent, to 

 our present prices, to make up for those who 

 never pay, and for clerk-hire to keep books, 

 etc.— this we know our cash customers would 

 not think to their advantage. In order not to 

 do injustice to any one, we make this an 

 Invariable rnle— tlierefore do not ask 

 for credit. This system gives all the advan- 

 tage to " cash customers," but the " credit 

 system " works to their Injury. We therefore 

 always require Cash with tbe Order. 



Always mention your Post-OfHce, 

 County and State when writing to this 

 office. No matter where you may happen 

 to be for the hour when actually writing —
