MR. RETAILER

ON THE SPOT

Philosophy that teaches to "Buy at Home."

1. You are in business for one purpose only<"TO MAKE

MONEY."

2. You do not make One Cent on your goods until you sell them.

3. The more rapidly you increase your turnover, the more money you make.

4. Losses invariably come from buying too heavy and carrying goods on your shelves too long.

The greatest possible advantage in buying avails you nothing if you cannot dispose of your goods within a minimum time. ~

Our Service gives wide variety-Rapid Turnover- Season's Datlngmetc. Permits you to carry on the points mentioned shove, which diverts buying from the Manulac~ turer, with the large quantity necessary, Freight and Ex- press, difficulty in replacing wanted items quickly and a heavy stock of slow moving goods. This will generally work out very much to your disadvantage, In spite of a small saving in first cost you may make buying direct.

Buy our Lines AT HOME. We know the MARKET- Buy from US. Preferred: That's why we ADVERTI9E- But in any case “THE MARITIME FIRST"
