ence our prices to you. We think that in
such fashion we can better serve you. Therefore, on July 1st,
which marks the end of our fiscal year, we shall go upon an
exclusively cash basis and no longer maintain charge accounts.

We think that you will agree when you see the savings
reflected in lower prices for the highest grade of goods that
the change in policy is a wise one and that you will continue
to favor us with your patronage.

Very truly yours,
Pelletier & Co.,

If you are not fully satisfied with anything you bought from
us, remember that we are always eager and ready to adjust the
matter to your satisfaction. We shall certainly appreciate it
if you will write
