The new pure cash syatem now being initiated by d. and C. will certainly prove a. benefit to the public. It has been a great success in Sydney and Melbourne, and when strictly carried out, the customer who buys at an establishment where the goods are marked low to ensure a rapid sale must be a_ great gainer. G. and C. sell their drapery millinary, and clothing at such prices for cash as gives the buyer the advantages of a shareholder of a co-operative society, without the risk of being called upon to bear aportion of the loss should the year's business prove unsatisfactory. Garlick and Cranwell will aim to retain the confidence which the public have hitherto shown them, and a.re determmed,to give the pure cash system a fair trial; whether they gj.in or lose the first year. Country buyers on remitting cash with order will be supplied with goods at co-operative prices ; just the same as though they made a. personalselection.
