NIBLICK, CRAWFORD & SONS Having tried the credit system long enough to test its impracticability, have concluded to take a new tack, and. instead of having to put their goods ata price high enough to make up for bad debts, they are now determined to give their patrons the benefit of the MONEY SAVED BY THE-“READY PAY SYSTEM,” I in the reduced prices they are thus enabled to afford their customers. In this way they can ■ “LIVE AND LET LIVE!” I It is true, Justices and Constables may object, as it interferes with a business which to them, has proven quite a lucrat'voone. But under the new order of things, oiu friends will find goods at the store in the Adams County Bank Block so much lower than formerly, that they 'vv’ilL be Astomslied! I at the change which ready pay has wrought. Il is folly to say much about it in oun advertisement, as far as particularizing is concerned.
