v S r 1 "A Rolling Stone Gathers No Most" Is nn old adage which can also be well applied by ub. The big mistake the average mer chant makes is to allow the stone to remain still and gather the moss, or, ill other words, ho lots the stock got old. The reason he gets into this rut is because ho doesn't know how to buy. A style comes out, and he thinks he must supply the whole town, and buyB a heavy stock of this one article. You ladies visit each other and see this article, and, of course, you do not want the same thing, and the result it he carries this stock over. Thus it is with most of his goods, and before he knows it ho has ac cumulated a large stock of old patterns. You will not find any moss on our goods, as they aro too new.
