Are You Making Your
Dollars Reach
Out?
Why not follow the crowd and let the DIXIE save
you some money? People are fast realizing that
it pays to spend their money in a CASH STORE.
Why should you help pay all the unnecessary ex-
pense attached to a credit business? Did you ever
stop to think that it takes thousands of dollars each
vear to keep up expenses for any store that does a
credit business; to say nothing of lost accounts?
THE DIXIE cuts out all this waste and you get the
benefit of it all. We merchants all pay about the
same for our goods. Its the fellow who can run his
business with the least expense the man who keeps
track of every little detail connected with his busi-
ness the man who can operate a business with the
least possible stock and in the language of "The
Prune Peddler" the fellow that keeps turning over
and does not snore the turn over merchant this is
the fellow who will get the business in any town.
Whether we are the ones who can do these things re-
main to be seen.
Remember this is only a plain little cash store
selling mostly plain every day merchandise and not
merchandise with a long pedigree and a high price.
If you are looking for high priced goods the 100 per
cent profit bearing kind then you will be disappointed
in our store.
Now one word about style. We know that all
stores carry the new styles if their merchandise is
new and we further know that most of these style
reading adds are done merely to get a longer profit
on their merchandise. Style counts for nothing in
this store when it comes to pricing goods. We price
everything on a percentage basis. You buy style here
on the same basis as you do work shoes. Its our
business to see that you get style and price all in one
without extra charge.
