THE- STORE THAT SERVES YOU RIGHT. THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF THE FARMERS CO-OP. This store is conducted on well defined lines, as different from the old time ideas of storekeoping as chalk is from cheese. We believe, and we have proved our belief to be well founded, that more success is to be won by selling goods for as little as possible, than by asking ns much as they would bring. "If we can gat the price, why shouldn’t we ?” is the argument of the old fashion retailer, but that is not the way of the Farmers Co-op. It is our fixed business principle to charge the lowest price possible, and to give our customers all the , benefits wo can. The growth of this store, the marvellous and highly satisfactory expansion of business, fully demonstrated that our principles are right. And the Farmers Co-op. is better able to more strictly conform and adhere to its policy than ever before. The great business of the store makes the handling of immense purchases an easy matter—and the mere fact that we are able to buy large quantities outs down the cost, andgoing direct to the sources of original supply, still further reduces the initial cost. The smaller the costs to us, the lower the prices to you, and that is how the Farmsrs Co-op. has become the leader of low prices in Canterbury N.Z. FARMERS CO-OP. FLANNELETTES 361 a. wide.
