The 4 cent price you know pretty well, or ought to know by this tini: yet, in answer to this permit me to repeat a dialogue: I called on one of our New York supply houses, the genial proprietor of which caught me by the arm saying: "John Ladwig, you are just the man I am anxious to see. You buy quantities, of course, if you can skin us. We have some broken lines to tell where the quan tities are scarcely large enough to justify cataloguing for our traveling salesmen." To make a long story short, I bought a bill worth $1,163. Mostof the goods are intended to be sold for 5 and 10 cents; some for 15 to 25 cents.

Here they are on our counters for Four cents. Don't make a mistake by simply thinking that here you buy only 4 cent goods. NO, NO, NO; you buy more expensive goods for 4 cents. Listen what I have to tell you about Table Knives and Forks. We have had them oil and on, and such they were, sorry looking seconds as a matter of fact I could not help it; could not uuy anything better to sell for Four cents and make a little profit.

I am beating my former efforts all hollow. I made a special agreement with the Sanson Cutlery Company for 200 gross of first quality goods, cocobolo handles, strictly perfect, each knive und fork at 4c or 48c a dozen, or $5.76 a gross.
