HOW'"
The great Slogan reaching around America
ITjpHE manufacturers started it, merchants took it up and now it's
lime for everybody to join in. "BUY IT NOW!" means work
for the laborer, trade for the merchant and orders for the manufac
turers; puts money into circulation and draws the face of Business
up into a smile of satisfaction.
At no time in the history of this country has there been equal cause for a cork
ing good business in every line. It's up to us, Merchants, Farmers and Workers in
every line to- stop marking time and break into a run toward big business, and I will
remark that I begin right here to do my part.
I'm buying goods just like I knew I'd sell them and I do I'm going to make you buy
you can't afford to keep your money in your pocket and pass up the bargains I've - got
ready for you. If you expect to buy a piece of Jewelry in the next five years it will pay you
to "Buy it Now" Pay you because you ought to buy now on general principles, and he
cause the prices I'm giving you on such attractive things as Diamond Jewelry, Bracelet
Watches, LaValliers, Birth Stone Rings, Party Boxes, etc., etc.
You must come and see to believe we won't attempt to tell you all but want to
- show youcome in and "BUY IT NOW."
I'll keep your dollars in circulation hecause whatever I want I'm going to "Buy it Now'
