Tho roar of tho cannon is ffifl tlmiulerintf aloud. .Every citizen is urged, to enlist. The H conflict is real. The demand to arms is a just one. Slavery H enthralls the land. This is a now emancipation. The H dreaded enemy DEBT has iordged its shackles on tho H wrists of an otherwise free people. They aro struggling H for freedom, yearning for independence. Wishing for a D golden harvest, which will not bo spent beforo it is raised. H earning to own tho check thoy toil so hard for, when the H month's ond comes. Another onoinv that always goes hand H in hand with the credit system, is IHGII PRICES, tho two are inscpornble. im No credit system can possibly be carried on without Wm high prices being enacted. Figure it out for yourself. H Money lr worth interest. It wo have $10,000 out on our H books, as an average that means $1000 is thrown away an- H nually. Wo will be satisfiold with that amount as our M yearly earnings. With the credit system, I per cent to 2 U nor cent actual loss is a small outright loss. A 1 per cent Hf bad account loss, means another $500 loss. Who pays the WM, lss? Mr. "Good Pay" do you want to pay it? someone iffl has to do it. Tho merchant cannot pay it. Ifo does not 'iffl get ti cent of it ns we have ah eady shown you. It is money Ql I actually lost that benefits no one, except, the 'dead beat" BE who may jump his bills. All the merchant gels is a lot of 91 1 worry, llo sees his friends turn into enemies, by nccomo- fj dating them many times. Tie looses confidence in human- HI lty. 'J he history of the mercantile business shows that Hffl 05 per cent of them fail, -1 per cent made a good living and 9 HI 1 per cent get fairly rich. No other lino of industry ril shows such a great per cent of failures. Fow, if any, aro iI paid only a moderate wage. What is tho troublo 'then? li What is wrong? Tho truth of tho matter is the merchant K does not gel enought profit on what ho sells to be safe in I C Ins investment. And yet w" v prices aro too high. How Iff can we reconcile those ..louts? We hnvo nlrendy afU) shown you the secret, inL. on accounts, that stand on Mm the books, the loss ot accounts. There is whore the leak IXla is. It profits no one. We hope it is plain to you that wo Hy all aro at fault in this credit system. You pay too much Illy for your goods. We get too litto profit on what we sell. The HI IS credit system induces people to spend more than thoy WW earn, more than they can spare, more often than they can jfjljj) pay for. This makes trouble in the home, often, and dis- Hit couragemenl as well. Now, dear render, we hope to hnvo iH your earnest support in this move. juljll This letter is not written to any one person, that is our Hfjjf reason for publishing it in this paper. Please take no H offense, for no ill feeling in felt by us towards anyone. if r This is a progressive step. Every progressive merchant M ) will be compelled to adopt this system. It is the road 1 to safety, to freedom, to prosperity. This move will do j .1 more to stop tho mail order houses and build your local If lu, community, than anything else could do. Who nro the mil stores wejiear about every day that are selling so chonp, it nnd walking off with the cream of tho business of the hIk j country? Is it the store that does the credit business. Not Mwt is the fellow that sells for "spot cash:" no other. Mjij Wo aro not naming any prices in this letter, but wo are Umm putting the leuifoto our entire line, for we aro determined nUll to show the public that we can sell as many goods for a &12?H dollar as any mini in Utah county. You simply will not mm pay the long credit prices when von see our new system W m m operation. This is the no wligltt in merchandising. It much! It will bo our "Continuous Bargain Sale." jl "Wo aro in earnest nbout this matter nnd hope our friends II jtt will not try to defeat our purpose. Some goo'd rann once fii'i prayed, "Lord, spare us from our friends, for wo can U watch our enemies." mil We do not want to refuse to credit any one. We hopo m m every good citizen will boost for thi pay-as-you-go me- U thoil, tor it will vet revolutionize merchandising. It is A 1 bound to come. Come and see our reduced prices. We H S know wo will prosper better, and profit more, by selling ii you goods at cheaper prices. .Thanking you, ono and all, SH w in advance for your liearlv co-operation, and wishing you m f a Happy and Prosperous New Year, wo are, jf 1 Vorv trulv yours, II i PLEASANT GROVE MERCANTILE CO.
