To the Public The grocers and butchers of the city of Washburn wish to anuounce to their customers that after the 10tb day of Oct., 1905, no credit will be extended to any customer whatever, but all sales will be strictly upon the cash basis, and that all special order taking or soliciting trade be abolished. This resolution is m tde by the merchants, not only for their own benefit, but for the benefit of those customers who are good pay. It stands to reason that when large amounts of money are lost every year through bad accounts, as is always the case under the credit system, which has become an evil to this community, the honest custom er who pays his debts has to bear a part, at least, of the loss sustained through bad debts. It is earnestly hoped that the customers of the grocery stores and meat markets will experience no inconvenience in the change that will be made. It is thought that after things are ad justed and the customers become ac customed to cash payments, they will find that it will not only be con venient, but save them money. S. E. Swanson, F.
