C>sn versui CBcnir. — A few business houses in Now Zealand aie continually flaunting before the public tbe advantages to bo derived from buppo'tuig then so called cash system. These Eelf-dubbed philanthiophwts, wiih unblushing jffrontery, claim that the public aie called upon to pay from 10 to 20% moie to old-estab-lished and leputable firms — giving a judicious amount of credit— than cash traders say they charge for their goods. On the surface many of their claims appear feasible and advantageous. It is pointed out, no bad debts aio made, no high-paid staff of bookkeepeis isiequired, consequently, with less expense, a minimum rate of profit is put upon theii yoods. It is interesting m this connection to note tl at all coi'tn of aitificci aie re soi ted to to hoodwink Iho public. Systems of doing business are proposed involving double the cxponso in the clerical department than the o!d method canicd out by thoso doing what is termed a credit business. It would bo supposed that those who tti=h tobecond Jered philanthropists would extend a small measure of genero°ity to their employees. But we find such h hardly the caso, for in many instances the assistants are juniors and paid starvation wages. Under theso conditions these "lovers of humanity" appear to bo a strange combination of selfishness and deception. In the midst of all there is an old-established firm amongst us who does business on legitimate mid sound principles. We allude to Messrs J. Paul and co. This firm, in addition to having an extended practical experience, employs a buyer in London to purchase novelties as soon as introduced into the European centres of fashion. There is no firm in New Zealand who can buy more advantageously, or who pell the samo highclass good cheaper. There are no middle men's profits, everything being purchased direct from the manufacturers. All the departments are headed by adults of experience, who aro paid living salaries. Caoh purchasers avo allowed a discount of 5 poi cent, and monthly accounts are conceded 2J per cent off. That the public appreciate Messrs J. Paul and Co.'s efforts is 6olf-evident, seeing they do by far the largest soft goods business on this coast, and are detei mined to retain the confidence of the people by offering nothing but tho very highest quality goeds at prices not to be beaten in any part of the colony. The public should give the above subject their most earnest attention, as it will pay them to do so, and disabuse their minds of the idea that they can buy cheaper from any of these so-called " cash traders." Many firms have como to Wanganui during Messrs J. Paul and Co.'s business career with gieat anticipations, have gone up like a locket, and in many instances have como down with the stick. — Advt. ,
