Notice is hereby given that on April PICTURE FRAMING and SAW FILING at Kremer’s Furniture Store Opposite Post Office ITASCA MERC. Co. | We have been mailing the following jetter the last week, and perhaps your name has been missed. We are wishing all to know of the change in our business plan: Dear Friend: For about two years we have been discussing the changing of om business from a Credit basis to a CASH PLAN. Last May we seat ‘out icirculans to a part of our customers with the intention of stars- ing at that time; but afterwards decided to postpone the matter for a few months. After careful consideration, we have decided to make suck a change at this time. With that in view we are sending this personal letter to you, and also to each and every customer upon our books, in order that all may arrange their plans accordingly. We appreciate very much the business which you have. done with us in the past, and hope you will continue with us under the CASH PLAN. We trust to merit your continuance for several reasons. We believe that by thus eliminating the book- keeping costs, saving the loss ef a few poor accounts all the time, etc., that we shall be able to sell goods at a price more advantageous te you and in a way to mean an actual saving to you in the cost of living, which is high enough at the best now; and we shall also save our- selves a vast amount of worry. This is, after all, the only fair method of doing business. You get the lowest possible: price we can make by virtue of our having the ready cash to purchase new goods with. We can buy on the market cheaper with cash than on time as we now have to do with ten to twelve thousand dollars on cur books all the time in open accounts. Hence we are just that much behind in being able to PAY CASH for goods when we purchase. We expect there will be some difficulty in getting everything prop- erly adjusted, but we think a little planning will make all satisfactory. Please do not imagine that our being unable to sell YOU any goods on the former Credit Plan to be any reflection upon YOUR credit worthiness in any way, as we know to the contrary; but you can readily see that we must treat you all alike. It is our plan and pur- pose that there shall be no variation in the rule to ANYONE—but @ strictly CASH selling plan applicable to each and all alike. As we have said, we should like you to continue to give us as much of your business as you can, and we are sure that you will find it to your advantage to do so in all lines. If you try us after March 10th, you can easily determine what the cash saving is. Kindly remember the date, so there may be no misunderstanding as we shall SELL FOR CASH ONLY AFTER SUNDAY, MARCH 10th, 1912. NO GOODS will be CHARGED to ANYONE after that date; but will be sold for CASH ONLY whenbought at the store, or when de- livered on telephone orders or otherwise. Very truly yours, ITASCA MERCANTILE CO. e
