LOOK! TOO CHEAP!
My Competitors say that
I Am " Selling Goods Too Cheap"
Certain wholesale people have refused
to sell me goods saying that my com=
petitors have notified them that they
will not buy from anyone who sells to
me. Giving as a reason for so doing
that lam "ruining business" by "selling
goods too cheap."
Friends, you see they hope to run me out of business
so that they can raise prices.
Money will Buy Goods m i will me
Prices that will Sell Them.
You will find me at the Wynne Bros, old stand with a gener=
al stock of hardware at the lowest prices possible, for CASH.
I buy for cash and can get my goods for less money than
if I bought on time. I can sell cheaper because i lose no
accounts.
The man who sells goods on credit charges you an addition
al profit to make good all his bad accounts.
I still have several FARM WAGONS and a number of fine
COOK STOYES which 1 will close out for flat cost.

arm aud inflicted several other cuts,
which were ugly looking and pain-

and disadvantages have been consid-

had to secure a rail road and it pos-
sibly may be the last. therefore let
