The True Test of a Well-managed Business, The IMPORT GO'S, annual Balance was struck on the 15th, inst. The year's trade again showed an increase in volumn whilst the principle on which they have worked has demonstrated a further concession to their valued customers.The Profit on our last year's trade is 3£%. This can be verified by any authorised actuary. The former trade return showed a higher rate of interest. Now although the IMPORT COMPANY are tlius sellieg at further reduced prices, they are doing as well for themselves as formerly, because the greater quantity they sell the lower per centage does it cost, and they give that directly to their customers. , . It will.thus be seen that no House does business on better lines to tliß public, because no House works on so fine a margin.—whilst other'advantages favor us which many city competitors cannot manage—namely, lowering of rent charges, economy in management, and CBsh buying from first market. ' , . Therefore let buyers from far and near buy from the IMPORT GO. e ~ cau-ie by so doing you also help yourselves and this year they hope to so increase their trade that they will work on a still lower rate of profit.
