WHY IS THIS THUS.?
Itocauso 1st, Mr. Wise pay no lni-RO n
u ics for rent, as he owns the building he
occupies, id. he doesn't pv a cutter
fiios to f KXW a year, but does his own eut
tinir, and in not exrellod in this line In
Western Pennsylvania. 8d, ho buys
cloths lor cash, thus trotting a reduction on
ordinary rates. 4th he sells for cash, and
thus Inn no bail debts to make tip.
