COULDN'T QUIT CREDIT BUSINESS
My customers and friends were sorry when I told you in No-
vember that I would quit the credit business on December lBt. I
tried and couldn't do It but I will swear that I had more people
than ever wanting credlL Some wanted to pay $1 down and some
half down; others wanted the full bill of goods with nothing down.
For this reason I am going to continue the easy-payment plan
until January 1st. But please don't ask me to loan you any cash.
The first payment makes you and I partners. I ata overstocked ond
owe my creditors for several carloads ef new goods. Walking Is
good on our paved Caddo street so come up and see our goods and
prices. No trade no harm. No rents to pay so I sell the cheap
eL New and second hand goods of all kinds.
