Some Streetmen FAIL to MAKE MONEY
Just because they don’t BUY their Supplies from THE RIGHT SOURCE
if Y ou Bu Pocket Knives fr>m an exclusive Cutlery House—you get “ SOAKED’’-you don’t get the y right kind of goods, nor the right kind of price, because that house depends on pocket knives for its living, and must in busy season, make up for the dead season.
if iYou: Buy Canes from a house that hasn’t a cane in its stock, but depends on somebody else’s stock
to fill orders from-you certainly get “SOAKED” properly, because such a house knows nothing about canes to start with, and ten to one you'll get the wrong canes at best, if you get any at all, and further you should get your canes from first hands, from a house that has ample stock, and knows the cane business, and has what a cane-man can*make a success with.
if Y ‘B Jewelry from an exclusive Jewelry House, you are liable to get both skinned and soaked, ou uy because most the exclusive jewelers have very elevated ideas, and in their estimation no
business is quite so dignified as the jewelry business aud consequently ought to pay about 300 percent profit, so that an article we sell for 50 cents a dozen, they have the nerve to ask upwards of $2.00a dozen. Now how do you like it—there is a whole lot we could tell along this line if we had time.
WE are busy all the time, WE have no dull seasons. We don't try to make fancy profits, we don’t have to—for when canes ain’t selling, maybe clocks are, and when they ain’t, maybe collar buttons or some other lines are. We have everything a Streetman or Specialty Dealer needs, EVERYTHING from first hands, no dead stock, all active sellers. We don’t calculate on making “fancy profits.” We don’t offer “ Baits” for suckers to choke on. Ours is an even tempered business, the same throughout.
The Best Goods for the Least Money is Our Slogan.
If you don’t find what you want anywhere, they will tell youto go to N. SHURE CO.., the only place where you get the right start. Our NEW SHURE WINNER CATALOGUE is just hatched out—it is better than ever—of course.
