ft WAR \ c J m MEWS 1 Four years ago, singlehanded, we set out to fight the retail credit system entrenched in a thousand stores throughout the Dominion. For years these retailers had demanded that the wholesale merchants should supply them only, and thus enable them to force the farmers to pay their retail prices for all they needed. It has been a FIGHT FOR LIBERTY! For the right to pass by the retailer and go direct to the farmers at Wholesale prices ! And 30,000 farmers now take advantage of our victory —they find it pays. i For instance, they buy our J 1075 Watch for 2s. lid., while many are still paying the retailer 10s. 6d. for the very same article. Our BIG General Wholesale Catalog of Grocery, Hardware, Implements, Engines, Separators, Jewellery, Drapery, Boots, Saddlery, Furniture, etc., is FREE. If you have one, use it; if you haven’t, write to-day. See the low freight rates to your town on the front pages.
