Credit No Longer Necessary!
In t.e early days when transportation and banking facilities were very limited,
farm pioduct3 veie not so readily and so often turned into cash as now. Banks
were w.ker and more widely separated. Money fcr these reasons was scarce. Men
of those times testify that they were forced to do without ready cash for months at a
time. During such times good; could be bought only cn credit. Then the bock
account was more than an accomodation, it was a necessity.
But it is no longer a necessit5 It has even come to be a burden on the custo
mer as well a3 on the merchant. All know that times have changed greatly the last
twenty years. Money is more plentiful, and ready cash may be more easily secured
at any time. The laborer gets his pay as soon as he has earned it and the farmer
maj sell his products when he wishes to get money for them, in advance. The time
of long deferred payments is past.
How Cash Helps Us Both!
In the past few years a large number of progressive merchants have adopted the
cash plan of retailing with all its accompanying advantages to their customers, lower
selling prices, greater efficiency and larger displays of merchandire. It stands to rea
son that if our capital is not tied up in accounts that we have more money to invest
in seasonable, attractive merchandise, that we can buy these for cash and have the
cash available to take advantage of unusually good buys which we will pass on to
you.
More than this, the Cash plan takes the merchant out of the banking business.
The retailer who sells on long time credits is practically loaning his funds to his cu
torners, and in this way conducting a bank, but in a most inefficient manner. The
banks of today are amply prepared to tide you over any unexpected financial strin
gency, and the person who borrows money to buy merchandise for cash s caving
money for himself.
We are going to prove to you that buying for cash pays. In our store you will
find goods of quality and value, backed by a firm which has been continuously in
business in Plattsmouth for thirty-five years. Our aim is to give you continu
ously low prices rather than spasmodic low price sales!
Following the reasoning of the preceding paragraphs, we at this time, announce
that in our new Department Store, which opens for business soon, we will sell mer
chandise for spot cash only! We adopt this policy with a cordial feeling for those
customers who have had charge accounts with us for many years, but with the sound
conviction that we are inaugurating a policy which will result in greater satisfaction
to all and a long step forward in progressive merchandising.

My kidneys were disordered at times

bition. A member of my family who
had used Doan's Pills with good re
sults advised me to try them, which
I did with the best of results. In
a short time I felt like a different

and they always quickly relieve me."
