What’s The Use?
I have about made up my mind that
it’s no use quoting prices week after
week when after 21 months of quot
ing prices at less than the goods could
be bought wholesale, one man that I
saved over $40 on one bill walked up
town and throwed the $40 away in one
of my competitors stores. What he
needs is a good kick in the britches.
Every town in the United States has
cut out the delivery systems in order
to cut the cost off goods. The cost of
deliveries in O’Neill runs over $1700
per month and they have put on 5
more wagons in theTast three months.
They do this to show their contempt
for the country trade that does not re
ceive any benefit from it but has to
pay the costs.
Half the countries of the world are
today fighting for their homes and
their honor. You can put in some
good licks without fighting, by trading
in the Only Cash Store in O’Neill with
no free delivery. Why don’t you show
your independence by being indepen
dent. When stores have pushed you
out the door year after year with high
prices why do you go back for another
push. Why don’t you trade at the
store that started right and stayed
right? Any store that runs a wagon
or sells goods on credit does not try
to save you moeny. Cash customers
who carry home their own goods can
make those others pay their own bills
and pay for their own deliveries by
trading at this store.
Any woman who buys 4 sacks of
flour and bakes her own bread will
save just $51.75 that the bakery
charges for baking four bags of flour.
Every week there is a man who carries
his oil can right by my door and walks
up town and pays 5c per gallon more
for his oil. What’s the use putting
prices in the paper for men like that.
He thinks he is showing me something
but he fools himself, it’s not my
money he is spending.
By printing prices in the paper I
stopped every storekeeper in O’Neill
and Holt County from raising their
prices. I saved you dollars and dol
lars and besides I had to buy my
goods on war prices and compete with
old stuff they had on their shelves
since 1492. The day before yesterday
I beat S. R. & Co. $6.95 on a $24 bill
of goods besides the freight. I can
beat them $25.00 on a $100 bill. Be
sides I have a better grade of stuff.
The war isn’L over yet—the seeds we
planted is not harvested yet—your
coal bins are empty for next winter—
your flour bins are almost empty—
your hog yards and cattle yards are
not half what they were and its a long
time till Christmas. If you don’t start
to save pretty soon you won’t have
anything to save. \
If you try to put a sack of Gold
Medal flour in any other bag you will
find out why more people use Gold
Medal than anything else.
If you try to drink any other coffee
after using Monarch you will find out
something else. If you trade at this
store a while you will find you will
kick yourself for not coming here
sooner. You can show your patriot
ism in no better way than by saving
your money—and carrying home your
stuff.
One of my own clerRs went up town
and bought a coat and paid just three
times as much as he could have bought
it from himself in my store. I had
another clerk who paid 10c for talcum
powder in Omaha that he could get
for 9c in my store. Howcanamanblame
the people when the clerks don’t know
anything? 1 have some good clerks
now who will give you the right prices
and have youi stuff ready when you
want to go home.
By hoarding grub and clothes your
self you make it hard for price con
trollers to stick you later on. Its no
worse for the private individual to
hoard grub than for some speculator.
Last year I told you if you didn’t can
goods yourself the canning Company
would can them for you and you
would have to pay the difference. I
guess you are paying it.
