We will be willing to have this certified to by an auditor if any doubt be cast upon 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 inundate the place at this time of the year. We have never required to take this step ourselves, and so- far, fail to Bee why any well-managed business should have to do so.
