o------------ - ■ ------------ oTO THE CITIZENS OF ST, JOHNS AND CLINTON COUNTY :

The Bis Store's management being convinced that the Old Custom of selling the same goods at different prices to different Customers was grossly unjust—**to all save the higgler for hargains”—decided upon its inception to inaugurate the System in St. Johns of

iSTRICTLY ONE PRICE TO ALLEvery Article being marked in plain figures. Absolutely no deviation is made to any one.

o----------- " : " —-------Oruder the old system the regular Customer, who lias conridence in the ilealer and relies upon his statement as to values, pays the higher price.—While

the bargain driver is shown the prelerenee ol a reduecfl price—in order not to miss the sale. Tnder the new system one has the constant assurance that he is getting the goofls at exactly the same price as the ‘‘hard customer” who sf)eiids hours vainly seeking a reduction.

(‘nder the old, the price is rnarkeil high I for some customers) in order to comfH.‘nsate for the low cuts, which other customers will demand—and receive.Tiider the new, the “one price” is fixed as low as possible consistent with r living profit, with this advantage that by distributing it among all his cus

tomers. the dealer can aftord to ask l<?ss profit Irom each, than when he obtains the same profit from only a few. It is simply a case of e(|ual justice toall and special favors to none. You must and do rccfigiiize the wisdom and fainiess of these principles. They constitute the corner stone of the business. The Mercantile Company have obtained in St. Johns, and the fieople, appreciating it. have assisted in kecfiing them in practice.

** Pe-ru-na is sore to prevent a cold. It will stop a cough before it becomes ssttlrd. It cures all catarrhal offecUons like magic. No money could tempt me to be without this remaviy fur even a day.

The wolf ■till lay on the grooiHl. with half cloned eyes, apparently ooaware that anything annsiial was coing on. Her bide was thick, and the teeth of her small assailant dUI not bother her much, bat the bulldog finally grabbed her by the throat, and this took all the indifference ont of her. The old wolf struggled sod tried to free berself. but In vain. Hb** rose to her feet anti shook herself <iesperately. bat the bulldog hung on with that tenacity which it alone can display.

"At last the wolf shook berself free, but she did not remain unmolested. The gam*- little dog returned to the attack, bat this time she was more than mat. The great Jaws of the old wolf opened, showing the gleaming fangs, now covered with foam. .V feint, a goick snsp, sod the ivory teeth sank *I(>ep into the head of the brart* little bulldog. The lifeless body was thrown aside with contempt. A ballet from a cowlsiy's aix shooter then ended the old wolTs career, and the rr*»w*l roile liome, trying to figure out whether the gamt* had been worth the raudk*."
