THE NEOSHO TIMES, NEOSHO, MARCH 18,1920. McGINTY'S COLUMN The Saturday Evening Post in this week's issue has the following to say about profiteers and it sounds right to us. "There are three general classes of profiteers. First, the man who buys goods and is not satisfied with less than 75 to profit; the law is getting after him and well it should. Then there is the man who marks his goods on a moderate margin of profit but buys only the expensive kinds of goods so that his customer must buy higher grade thart is necessary for real service; he does not offer for sale the less expensive kinds of goods.

The third kind of profiteer is the man who marks his goods in characters and then prices them at whatever he thinks his customer will stand. This is little better than a petty thief." The above is not word for word as the Saturday Evening Post prints it because the article is too long to print here in full but the meaning is identical. Wfe are operating this year on the lowest percentage of profit we have ever used, and we feel we are only fair in the matter, as our volume of sales will be so much bigger than in the past, our percentage should be less. We invite comparison of our prices with the prices of any store in any town, big or little. Would like to have our goods compared, however, rather than "paper descriptions." It is an easy matter to describe shoes on paper and make it sound first if the writer has never seen the face of the buyer.

But in this store when we advertise a shoe we know we will have to produce the shoe when the customer comes in and if we have exaggerated the good qualities we have made a bad have led the customer to believe the shoe a better shoe than he finds it, hence we are giving hi ma reason to doubt our advertising which is the same as our word. The real busy place in our store these days is the women's shoe department. The ladies are ready for low shoes, pumps and oxfords and are buying them in a hurry. The line starts at for dress styles and the assortment is excellent at $6, $6.50, $7.50, $8.50 and $10. Brown kid, black kid, brown calf, white fabric and white kid.

We are certainly showing a fine assortment this spring and we court comparison of prices with any town anywhere. Girls' and children's low shoes are in and it is about time of year for the girls start on low shoes they take them in a we are ready. A new lot of boys' play suits, ages 2 years to 12 years, big assortment, umonalls, the best every day clothes for boys evere designed. The business of this store has grown because of the automobile. Ten, fifteen, twenty or even twenty-five miles is no trip for a family with a car an dthe very big stock we carry has made this a central trading place for every community within 25 miles of Neosho.

This store has gone on "the plan-of having a very big stock at all times, full assortments in every line, buying often and keeping the new styles always coming in. People know this and come to Neosho with a feeling they will be properly served. The Black Cat stocking for boys and girls, heavy or medium weight, that we are selling for 40 cents for every size up to 10, is being advertised in other towns at 45 cents for small sizes, 50 cents for medium and 55 cents for large have seen towns advertising these prices. Our price of 40 cents is very margin of profit possible, and we sell large know a good price these days and are quick to take advantage of it. A woman's full fashioned lisle hose, shaped ankle, excellent black color, looks almost like silk, Black Cat make, $1.10.

Many women have been asking us for this fine lisle stocking but it has been entirely out of the market for two have a new stock or white. The Black Cat stockings at 25c, 35c, 60c and 80c, are all excellent values and we have never seen any other line we thought superior to the Black Cat; Clothing prices are high, but men tell us our prices look most have very little complaint when we price our are marked as low as we can possibly sell like to show them. The Daylight Bargain Tables are attractive these with shoes for men, women, boys and girls. If you want to save on shoes, ask to be shown the men's shoes bought in the Perry Co. are priced at a discount of one fourth to one third.

Many of them are out on the bargain tables at $3.45, $4.85, and $6.85. Spring hats for little boys and girls are looking styles from Spear buy early and get what you want.
