Cornor Eighth and Locust Sts. 10 Ca On and After Oct. 1 WE WILL SELL For Cash Only READ THE REASONS Your, own welfare is always the thing that deserves, your most careful consideration. Upon you men and women, as heads of your families, lies the responsibility of con ducting your business in such a manner that will give to those dependent upon you the greatest possible amount of comfort. In making the change in our business method, which we are now announcing to you, we have had this thought clear ly before us. In any business there are three important and essential factorsthe producer, the seller and the consumer. The most important factor in any business is the consumer, the man who uses the goods; He therefore deserves our most careful attention. fee ' $$tlAs a merchant's interests are very closely associated with his customer's interests and of the general interest of the com munity in which he lives and earns his bread and butter. It will also be readily-seen that a merchant canrprosper only in proportion to the good service that he renders. After a very careful consideration of the subject and a thorough in vestigation of the many communities where it has been tried, together with an observation of conditions extending over many years, we have reached the conclusion that: Cash Business is Better for the General Good of the Community than Credit Business THE REASONS ARE VERY PLAIN. (1) Credit 1ms ruined many more peo ple thnn it has helped. People have estab lished a reputation for being good pay have been able to buy on credit at any store nnd as a result have overheached themselves. (2) It is very plain that a Cash Sys tem will benefit the entire community by putting it upon a conservative basis. If every family pays as it goes there will al ways bo money in the ffnmily exchequer" to meet tho emergencies which continually arise in our lives. (3) A Cash System will give every man an honest chance, it will compel every man to stand four squaro to tho world ex actly as he is and give him n feeling of independence which only the Casli Man can have. There is absolutely no question about his being able to become more prosperous and carry a bigger bank account under such n system. Ho will know every night exactly what ho-is worth and like tho "vil lage blacksmith" of our school day fame, "Look tho whole world in tho face, for ho owes no man anything." It will entirely oliminato from tho minds of us all tho thought that "pay day docs not come tin til tomorrow and tomorrow is a long way off." We had thought of discussing this question with you from the merchant point of view as. well as from the customer's but after a thorough discussion among our selves we have been unable to discover a single instance where the merchant's in terest is different from that of the customer. Wo aro all living together in the same community. We all help support our pub lic utilities, our schools and our good roads. Wliat benefits one, must in some degree nt least, benefit tis all. It is good for us all that wo nil prosper. While many peo ple have tho idea that every merchant has a fat bank account, tho reverse is true, at least in our case. By changing this system many important improvements can be made (1) It will save tho merchant a large part of his expense in doing business. There will no longer be any forgotten charges to account for at the end of tho year when wo figure profits nnd loss, there can be no errors in Cash transactions. (2) 'It will enable the merchant to be a better buyer. Cash talks loud in the mar kets of tho world. There is nothing that makes such tempting noise ns good old Un do Sam's coin, the supreme standard by which all the values in the world is now gnaged. We appeal to you as intelligent, ambitious business men and women to take the samo and unselfish view of tho question and give it your most careful consideration. Wo believe it is for tho general good of tho community at large, for the money you will save in our CASH STORE Avill more than make up the little inconveniences which may arise at the time being. Wo believe that our stand is just and right. Thero aro some merchants in our city who aro skeptical and would like to take this action but havn't tho nerve, so join with us as wo havo always united with you in a spirit of earnest co-operation and let tis all pull together to de velop tho "Pay as you go" system and raako North Platto tho most prosperous community in all this prosperous state. Our children will then developo into better men nnd women, our homes will bo brighter, a GREATER SPIRIT OP CONTENTiArENT WILL PREVAIL AND WE AVILL ALL BE MORE HAPPY. D. F.
