Owing to the high price of shoes. scarcity of leather and short terms of cre-dit adopted by manufacturer we find we will be serving the best in-.‘ lerest of our customers- and selves by adopting the Cash System, as we' need all oi our capital to keep our stock up to normal. -It has been remarked by several observing citizens who have lately been in other centres that shoes- in Char- lottetown appear ‘lower priced than in most places visited. lt is desir- able to keep up this enviable repu- tation. CASH BUYING WILL ALLOVV US TO DO IT, Another matter that effects us all to n very large degree-, is the great abuse of the upprohation s-ystcm.... ..some oi' our stores having on differ- ent occasions had as many as four hundred and fifty pairs ot' shoes out on -approbatlon_ at the one time, thus les-aening their stock in certain sizes to such an extent that hardly' enough shoes were left in stock' to show a cash customer. Our friends' and cus- tomers urc- invited to try their shoes on in the store-s, as they do in other places, and thus help to save' ex- pense and lower the cost of shoes, besides having expert help in making selection._ oorr nnos..
