FREEMAN THE WORKINGiMEN'S FRIEND We print upon our Excelsior Banner and Sign "Cash Down." Tiiose wlio differ witii us belong to a race of the past, we of this. To equal our rivals is not our intention, but to turn out better goods from 20 to SO per cent, lower than any other store in Victoria is our ambition, and to accomplish this we have spared neither time, money nor brains. .Judge him by his past. Well, it was time that some one commenced to sell goou. at prices with little respect to decency. This remark can be heard in our store almost any hour in tlie day. The past reTOrd of the Victoria merchants cannot be wiped out with hypocritical promises for the future. The merchants who have overch'irged their patrons in the past cannot at this time plead honesty and low prices. Our low prices have and are taking effect upon oseniercliants who have overcharged you for years. Compare our low prices of to-day with those charged before our coming lO Victoria. We have given to this community the Largest ami Most Elaborate Male Outfitting Establishment in B.C.. It tal.ss pluck and commercial ingenuity, but along with stock and hard cash must be mixed a fair share of common sense, and the genius wlio sees opportunity in the enterprise that stageers mediocrity will find abundant prosperity in the same field where dead lum- ber saw notliing but desolation. One faced and fought the possibilities and swept into the altitudes of fame and wealth. We liave cash, we have pluck, the ability and the commercial integrity with which to win. We have the pluck, the drive and the push. In all our dealings we are fair and square, in our commercial transactions we use the utmost candor and courtesy. We use every possible precaution to see that this ingredient permeates every fibre of our commercial make-up. The readerof this will possibly say that we are liberally educated and enjoy the happy facility of knowing how to plead our cause. We make no pretentions to word painting— our mission is simple; our intentions straightforward. We want your business strictly upon merit. We claim to be merchants of the " New School." Ourbusiness in a nut-shell is simply " Big Sales and Small Margins." As ihe lawyer who pleads before tli3 jury, we would say Sn£E LEKiZE OUR CHSE IN YOUR HANDS.
