1.10.\0J11 ,--T he amount of money deposited
v/Mrtr.7 a . V ' Bank of Great Britain is over
*2l 000,000 sterling, or more than cme hundred
millions of dollars : This is an enormous amount
ot money, and is the savings of many who have
adored hard, and by pursuing a habit of strict
economy they have succeeded in maintaining
themselves handsomely, and laid up a compe
tency tor old age. The question then arises,
w hat is true economy ? In the exercise of econ
omy it is essential to have good judgment—a cor
rect notion ot matters and things. Every indi
vidual has in the courseof a life time to purchase
a large amount of goods, even if for his or her
own support, merely. It will, in the coarse of
years, amount to a considerable sum. Then the
way to practice economy in this respect is to
buy for CASH, as it is very dangerous to go in
debt, particularly with the storekeepers. Buy
for CASH, and buy always coon nouns, and at the
lowest prices; and to enable the public to get
goods of every grade and quality, at the, lowest
possible prices that they can be sold over the
cost of manufacturing, C. L. JONES is conduct
ing a large establishment on the CASH SYSTEM,
and his business has now grown to such an enor
mous extent that lie buys nearly all his goods
directly of the importers and manufacturers for
cash, and sells them at the smallest considerable
profits, and in this way he is enabled to sell his
goods at least TWENTY PER CENT, lower than all
other merchants. Let any one make a calcula
tion of the amount of goods they would proba
bly buy in one year, and they will find that 5(1
per cent, oi one-fifth of the amount would be a
considerable item. Let this run on for some
years, and they will have a sum saved in amount
of no little consequence.
It is now admitted by all other merchants, as
well as by the public generally, thatC. L. JONES
has the largest and best selected stock of goods
ever shown before in Lewistown, and that he
can undoubtedly buy goods cheaper than any
other merchant—his business being so large anil
purchasing in such immense quantities.
Country persons visiting Lewistown to pur
chase goods for CASH will soon De convinced of
the foregoing facts, by calling at the Celebrated
•Atio Cheap Cash Store of C. L. JONES, and in pro
portion to the population of this country with
Great Britain, the amount cf savings might be
quite equal, and probably greatly exceed the
estimate made.
