Selling for cash we oan afford this, the discounts we reoeire forming a large portion of our income. 4th.— We have reason to believe our percentage of expanses 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 upon the statement. THE POSITION we take is perfectly sound and clear—All Goods MARKED in PLAIN FIGURES on CASE 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 see why any well-managed business should have to do so. We beltcvs the age of humbug to he passing, and find that our system, at all events, commends itself to the intelligence of the community. SHIPMENTS Ex lONIC NOW OPENING. INSPECTION INVITED. T. & J.
