REASONS WHY T.&J. THOMSON, HATE A RIGHT TO A SHARE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. Ip|>. —Our Purchases are made from Leading Manufacturer and Warehouiemen in Great Britain, the Continent, and the Colony. 2nd. —Our buying terms in nearly erery instance are prompt Cash. If unable to do this in all caiei we approximate as nearly as we can. 3rd. —All goods are shipped to us at Lowest Freights, and after subjected to necessary duty and expenses are marked off at smallest modicum compatible with any margin. Selling for cash we can afford this, the discounts we receive forming a large portion of our income. 4th.— We hare reason to behave onr percentage of expenses to turnover is lower by 10 per cent, than that of any firm doing business in this locality. We will be willing to have this certified to by an auditor if any doubt be cast upen the statement. THE POSITION we take is perfectly sound and clear—All Goods MARKED in PLAIN FIGURES on CASH TERMS; Thoroughly able Heads of Departments ; and the Minimum of Profits, however, extraordinary the value may be. We are not disposed here to question the advantage for either buyer or seller of forcework in the way of Drapery Sales that usually inundatd the place at this time of the year. We have never required to take this step ourselves, and so far, fail to see why any well-managed business should have to do so. We believe the age of humbug to be passing, and find that our system, at all events, commends itself to the intelligence of the community. SHIPMENTS Ex lONIC NOW OPENING. INSPECTION INTI ED. T. & J.
