worthy of your consideration.
We wish to prove this assertion.
If is not a question of buying at

buy merchandise and groceries from us as

we don't expect you to buy, and you are
justified in sending away for goods.
It is said it costs the average
mail order house 18 per cent
of its"entire sales to pay for expensive cat

they must pay wages, taxes, insurance and
other expenses. Our Entire cost of doing
business is less than 18 per cent. That's

Last, but not least—ON SUGAR
Does it pay to buy goods of
any concern because of some
staple article quoted at half the
wholesale cost, and prices to de
ceive the public. For instance, one
mail order house offers 333 pounds
of cane sugar for one dollar witha
$lO order of groceries. This makes
the price of sugar 3c per pound,
when the wholesale price on cane
sugar in carload lots, at New York,
is $5.95. It cannot be hot cheaper
and it costs approximately $6.75,
in carload lots at Cody. Then, at
their price it shows a loss of SI.OB
on every dollar’s worth of sugar,
which must be made up on the re
mainder of the other nine dollar’s
worth of groceries.
Mail order houses make an an
nual report to their stock
holders, as to profits, and their percentage
basis, at thirty three and one third percent
which is an unreasonable profit. This should
prove why we are not giving sugar away.
We ask this question: Is not this the truth?
We are satisfied with less profit than they
make, which is shown by mail order house
reports.
